| hessian_er | logical, whether to output hessian based se. Ignored if correction is set to False. Default value is FALSE. | 
| true_range | logical, whether to used the accurate stationary check. Default value is FALSE due to performance reasons. | 
| max_try | integer, maximum attempt for the solver. Default value is 5. | 
| w2 | matrix, the spatial weight matrix for spatio-temporal lag. Default value is the same as w1. | 
| w3 | matrix, the spatial weight matrix for spatial error. Default value is the same as w1. |

Details
Estimating the spatial dynamic panel data model with Yang(2018)'s M-estimator
	y_{ti} = \mu_{i}+\alpha_t + x_{ti}\beta + \rho y_{t-1,i} + \lambda_1 \sum_{j =1}^{n}w_{1,ij}y_{tj} + \lambda_2 \sum_{j =1}^{n}w_{2,ij}y_{t-1,j} +  u_{ti},\\ 
u_{ti} = \lambda_3\sum_{j =1}^{n}w_{3,ij}u_{tj} + v_{ti}, i=1,\ldots,n,t=1,\ldots,T
The minimum number of time-periods is 4. Make sure the rows and columns of w1, w2, and w3 are lined up with the regional index. Sub-models can be specified by argument "model"
- "full" Full model 
- "slm" - \lambda_2 = \lambda_3 = 0
- "sem" - \lambda_1 = \lambda_2 = 0
- "sltl" - \lambda_3 = 0
Some suggestions when the optimizer fails:
-  Increase max_try 
-  Increase cma_pop_multi 
-  try a different submodel 
Value
A list of estimation results of S3 class "msdpd"
- "coefficient" list, coefficients and standard errors 
- "model" character, model used for estimation 
- "vc_mat" matrix, variance-covariance matrix 
- "hessian" matrix, optional, hessian matrix
