I posted this question on StackOverflow a while back but received no answer.
I have 9,150 polygons in my data set. I was trying to run a spatial autoregressive model (SAR) in spdep to test spatial dependence of my outcome variable. After running the model, I wanted to examine the direct/indirect impacts, but encountered an error that seems to have something to do with the length of neighbors in the weights matrix not being equal to n. I tried running the very same equation as SLX model (Spatial Lag X), and impacts() worked fine, even though there were some polygons in my set that had no neighbors.

length(listweights$neighbours) == n is not TRUE
What am I doing wrong? I am running Windows 10 machine with R 3.5.3 with the most up-to-date spdep package, if it helps.
Thank you very much.
