  The serial interval (SI) is not one of the estimators. It is a parameter required by most of the estimators, and can
  also be estimated by some of them (if not specified).

  The SI is defined as the average time between successive infections in a chain of transmission (i.e., the time between
  the infection of an infected individual and their subsequent transmissions).
