-#' @param NT Vector of case counts.
-#' @param mu Mean of the serial distribution. This needs to match case counts
-#' in time units. For example, if case counts are weekly and the
-#' serial distribution has a mean of seven days, then \code{mu} should
-#' be set to one. If case counts are daily and the serial distribution
-#' has a mean of seven days, then \code{mu} should be set to seven.
+#' @param cases Vector of case counts. The vector must be non-empty and only
+#' contain positive integers.
+#' @param mu Mean of the serial distribution. This must be a positive number.
+#' The value should match the case counts in time units. For example, if case
+#' counts are weekly and the serial distribution has a mean of seven days,
+#' then `mu` should be set to `1`. If case counts are daily and the serial
+#' distribution has a mean of seven days, then `mu` should be set to `7`.
