                        Checking convergence of an MCMC chain by using
                        the Gelman-Rubin algorithm

discr_si                Discretized Generation Time Distribution
                        Assuming A Shifted Gamma Distribution
estimate_R              Estimated Instantaneous Reproduction Number
                        'estimate_R' estimates the reproduction number
                        of an epidemic, given the incidence time series
                        and the serial interval distribution.

init_mcmc_params        init_mcmc_params Finds clever starting points
                        for the MCMC to be used to estimate the serial
                        interval, e.g. when using option 'si_from_data'
                        in 'estimate_R'
make_config             Set and check parameter settings of estimate_R
make_mcmc_control       make_mcmc_control Creates a list of mcmc
                        control parameters to be used in
                        'config$mcmc_control', where 'config' is an
                        argument of the 'estimate_R' function. This is
                        used to configure the MCMC chain used to
                        estimate the serial interval within
                        'estimate_R' (with method "si_from_data").
