<p>In the Sequential Bayes method, the probability distribution of R0 is
updated sequentially from one case count to the next, starting from a
(discretized) uniform prior. By default, the function
-<code>seq_bayes</code> returns the mean of the last updated posterior
+<code><a href="../reference/seq_bayes.html">seq_bayes()</a></code> returns the mean of the last updated posterior
distribution as its estimate of R0. However, by setting the parameter
<code>post</code> to <code>TRUE</code>, it is possible to return the
final distribution itself:</p>
