-#' This method is based on an approximation of the SIR model, which is most valid at the beginning of an epidemic.  The method assumes that the mean of the serial distribution (sometimes called the serial interval) is known.  The final estimate can be quite sensitive to this value, so sensitivity testing is recommended. Users should be careful about units of time (e.g. are counts observed daily or weekly?) when implementing.  \r
