Calculates the effective reproduction number \eqn{R_t} for all time points for each region in the infections panel data.
Set the generation period by the parameter \code{GP} (default: 4). 
If \code{correction} is TRUE, values equal to zero are increased by one.
Set \code{overwrite} to TRUE, if an existing column should be overwritten.
The method uses the built-in function \code{R_t()}.
