Anat, note that the possibility to calculate the log likelihood is
there regardless of the method of estimation you are employing.

In addition, I would personally rather avoid presenting an R-Squared
of 0.12, particularly in these kinds of models. As is well known, high
R-Squared does not ensure casual relationship and low R-Squared does
not ensure lack of casual relationship
