#' WP method background function computeLL #' #' This is a background/internal function called by \code{WP}. It computes the log-likelihood. #' #' @param NT vector of case counts #' @param p discretized version of the serial distribution #' @param R0 basic reproductive ratio #' @return The function returns the variable \code{LL} which is the log-likelihood at the input variables and parameters. #' @export # computeLL <- function(p, NT, R0){ k <- length(p) TT <- length(NT)-1 mu_t <- rep(0, TT) for(i in 1:TT){ Nt <- NT[i:max(1,i-k+1)] # print(Nt) # print(p[1:min(k,i)]) mu_t[i] <- sum(p[1:min(k,i)]*Nt) } mu_t <- R0*mu_t LL <- -sum(mu_t)+sum(NT[-1]*log(mu_t)) return(LL) }
