<p>The serial interval (SI) is NOT one of the estimators.</p>
<p>
  The SI is a parameter required by all of the estimators, and can also be
  estimated by the WP method.
</p>

<p>
  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 and their
  subsequent transmissions.
