loglikelihood_spikerate

  LOGLIKELIHOOD_SPIKERATE - Compute the log likelihood of seeing spike rates

   LL = LOGLIKELIHOOD_SPIKERATE(BIN_RATES, BIN_DURATIONS, SPIKERATES, SIGMA)

   Computes the log likelihood of observing SPIKECOUNTS(i) in 
   bins of length BIN_DURATION(i) with firing rates BIN_RATES(i).

   The following equation is used to calculate the log likelihood:

   logP = sum over i of
      -log((sqrt(2*pi)*sigma))-(spikerates(i)-bin_rates(i))^2/(2*sigma^2)
