REML = variously, restricted or residual ML.  the kicker is that, under
REML, a function of the outcomes are estimated, such that the function
contains none of the fixed effects present/suspected in the original
outcomes.  brian

>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...?
