-#' ID method
-#'
-#' This function implements a least squares estimation method of R0 due to Fisman et al. (PloS One, 2013).
-#' See details for implementation notes.
-#'
-#' The method is based on a straightforward incidence decay model. The estimate of R0 is the value which
-#' minimizes the sum of squares between observed case counts and cases counts 'expected' under the model.
-#'
-#' 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 strongly recommended.
-#' Users should be careful about units of time (e.g., are counts observed daily or weekly?) when implementing.
-#'
-#' @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.
-#'
-#' @return \code{ID} returns a single value, the estimate of R0.
-#'
-#' @examples
