`nsim`	The number of simulations to do. Defaults to 100.
`regtype`	The type of regression used in susceptible reconstruction. Options are 'gaussian', 'lm' (linear model), 'spline' (smooth.spline with 2.5 degrees freedom), 'lowess' (with f = 2/3, iter = 1), 'loess' (degree 1), and 'user' which is just a user inputed vector. Defaults to 'gaussian' and if that fails then defaults to loess.
`sigmamax`	The inverse kernal width for the gaussian regression. Default is 3. Smaller, stochastic outbreaks tend to need a lower sigma.
`userYhat`	The inputed regression vector if regtype='user'. Defaults to NULL.
`alpha`	The mixing parameter. Defaults to NULL, i.e. the function estimates alpha.
`sbar`	The mean number of susceptibles. Defaults to NULL, i.e. the function estimates sbar.
`family`	The family in the GLM regression. One can use any of the GLM ones, but the options are essentially 'poisson' (with link='log'), 'gaussian' (with link='log' or 'identity'), or 'quasipoisson' (with link='log'). Default is 'gaussian'.
`link`	The link function used with the glm family. Options are link='log' or 'identity'. Default is 'identity'.
`method`	The type of next step prediction used. Options are 'negbin' for negative binomial, 'pois' for poisson distribution, and 'deterministic'. Defaults to 'deterministic'.
`inits.fit`	Whether or not to fit initial conditions using simple least squares as well. Defaults to FALSE. This parameter is more necessary in more chaotic locations.
`epidemics`	The type of data splitting. Options are 'cont' which doesn't split the data up at all, and 'break' which breaks the epidemics up if there are a lot of zeros. Defaults to 'cont'.
`pred`	The type of prediction used. Options are 'forward' and 'step-ahead'. Defaults to 'forward'.
`threshold`	The cut off for a new epidemic if epidemics = 'break'. Defaults to 1.
`seasonality`	The type of contact to use. Options are standard for 52/IP point contact or schoolterm for just a two point on off contact, or none for a single contact parameter. Defaults to standard.
`add.noise.sd`	The sd for additive noise, defaults to zero.
`mul.noise.sd`	The sd for multiplicative noise, defaults to zero.
`printon`	Whether to show diagnostic prints or not, defaults to FALSE.
`fit`	Now removed but gives a warning.
`fittype`	Now removed but gives a warning.
