becomes symptomatic. The serial interval refers to a range of likely
values from this distribution, although it is typically reported as the
mean.</p>
-<p>In the White and Pagano method, the serial distribution is assumed to
-be a discretized, finite version of a gamma distribution. Setting the
-parameter <code>serial</code> to <code>TRUE</code> causes this
-discretized distribution to be returned in addition to the estimate of
-R0. Furthermore, the method can be used whether or not the serial
-interval (specified as the parameter <code>mu</code>) is known. When
-<code>mu</code> is specified, it is taken to be the mean of a continuous
-gamma distribution (i.e., before the discretization). As such, the mean
-computed from the returned serial distribution may differ slightly from
-<code>mu</code>:</p>
