In the White and Pagano method, the serial distribution is assumed to -be a discretized, finite version of a gamma distribution. Setting the -parameter serial to TRUE 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 mu) is known. When -mu 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 -mu:
