#' 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.
