Estimation of \eqn{N} exponential growth models for the initial phase of an epidemic spread for \eqn{N} regions. 
Set argument \code{GI} for the calculation of the basic reproduction number, 
and control OLS/NLS estimation with arguments \code{nls}, \code{nls_start}, and \code{add_constant} (see \code{\link{exponential_growth}}).
