-\usage{
-IDEA(NT, mu)
-}
-\arguments{
-\item{NT}{Vector of case counts.}
-
-\item{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.}
-}
-\value{
-\code{IDEA} returns a single value, the estimate of R0.
-}
-\description{
-This function implements a least squares estimation method of R0 due to
-Fisman et al. (PloS One, 2013). See details for implementation notes.
-}
-\details{
-This method is closely related to that implemented in \code{ID}. The method
-is based on an 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.

-# Obtain R0 when the serial distribution has a mean of five days.
