[R] Need help with GLM on R

[Jim Lemon]

Hi icelandic1992,
If I am correct, the default model is comparing the first area with the
rest. I assume that "area" does not refer to the physical area of the
locations, but is a nominal order variable. If I am wrong, and there are
actual "areas", that is probably what you want to have in the model, as one
would expect that larger areas would have larger populations.
