#' (log) likelihood of Elo-rating model
#'
#' @param eloobject output from \code{\link{elo.seq}} (or from \code{\link{fastelo}})
#' @param daterange character or Date of length 2, gives the date range for which likelihood should be calculated. By default, the entire date range of all interactions is considered.
#' @param ll logical, should the log likelihood be returned rather than the likelihood, by default \code{TRUE}
#' @param burnin numeric, the number of interactions to be excluded from the calculation of the (log) likelihood. This parameter is ignored if a date range is supplied. By default \code{burnin = 0}, i.e. all interactions are considered.
#' @details This function returns the (log) likelihood of a dominance interaction sequence. The likelihood is the product of all winning probabilities (for each interaction).
#' @return numeric of length 1, the (log) likelihood
