#' WP method background function WP_known
#'
#' This is a background/internal function called by \code{WP}. It computes the maximum
#' likelihood estimator of R0 assuming that the serial distribution is known and finite discrete.
#'
#' @param NT vector of case counts
#' @param p discretized version of the serial distribution
#' @return The function returns \code{Rhat}, the maximum likelihood estimator of R0.
