The function also returns \code{resLL} (all values of the log-likelihood) at \code{shape} (grid for shape parameter) and at \code{scale} (grid for scale parameter), as well as \code{resR0} (the full vector of maximum likelihood estimators), \code{JJ} (the locations for the likelihood for these), and \code{J0} (the location for the maximum likelihood estimator \code{Rhat}).

It computes the maximum likelihood estimator of R0 assuming that the serial distribution is unknown but comes from a discretized gamma distribution. The function then implements a simple grid search algorithm to obtain the maximum likelihood estimator of R0 as well as the gamma parameters. -}
