signature( object = "infpan", GP = 4, correction = FALSE, col_name = NULL, verbose = FALSE)

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