This function computes the likelihood associated to a specific set of parameters, i.e. a specific. Note that the parameters included determine the ecological processes considered.

The log-likelihood values associated to a given set of parameters.
The parameter pz
have a value even if it is not included in the analysis (meaning a poisson distribution is used).
