\value{
-The function returns \code{Rhat}, the maximum likelihood estimator of R0, as well as the maximum likelihood estimator of the discretized serial distribution given by \code{p} (the probability mass function) and \code{range.max} (the distribution has support on the integers one to \code{range.max}). 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}). If \code{JJ} and \code{J0} are not the same, this means that the maximum likelihood estimator is not unique.

\description{
-This is a background/internal function called by \code{WP}. 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.
