Hi Lucas, Do you get the same sign using lm instead of glm?

Hi Pascal. I applied my analysis in time. I have 25 fire seasons, each season starts on November and ends up on April (our summer), so I have used them as independent observations. I know that assumption it could be wrong, but is the only way I can use the information available.
