.check_generation_time_valid

Check if the generation_time argument is specified as a function

internal

Provides methods to simulate and analyse the size and length
of branching processes with an arbitrary offspring distribution. These
can be used, for example, to analyse the distribution of chain sizes
or length of infectious disease outbreaks, as discussed in Farrington
et al. (2003) <doi:10.1093/biostatistics/4.2.279>.
