GzLMM syntax for estimation method

Heather
Hello,

I am trying to run a GzLMM and would like to change the estimation method from pseudo-likelihood (PL; which seems to be the default) to maximum likelihood (ML). A thorough study of the IBM SPSS website leads me to believe this is possible (they have a rather lengthy write-up about the different estimation methods that can be used) but I have been unable to find any way to change the estimation method, or where such a change would fit in the model syntax. Does anyone know the syntax for doing this (or whether it is even possible)?

Thank you in advance!
Heather
