>suspect Ruben would note that, under a normal assumption, OLS and ML coincide.
True, though i'd say that OLS is a particular case of MLE iff the process being modelled is additive and the additive stochastic component is normal. >also, I suspect that Ruben's comments also apply to REML >results--altho in that case you may need to restrict inference to random components. brian There are so many acronyms that i got lost with REML. Is it Random Effects etc...?
