[R-sig-Geo] unbalanced panel in spatial panel data models

[Patrick Meyfroidt]

Hello,

I have a spatial panel database (regions over years), over which I would
like to run linear and most probably logistic regressions also.

I started to use the package splm (Giovanni Millo, Millo and Piras 2012),
calculating the spatial weights with spdep.
But it appears that splm only deals with balanced panels.

Is there another package or way to make spatial panel regressions, or
another way to deal with possible spatial autocorrelation effects, with
unbalanced panel data in R?

I know that I can manually remove incomplete regions or years, but given
the data I have this will be very costly (in terms of number of remaining
observations).

Thank you very much for considering the message, and for any help.
