<title>United Kingdom prime ministers</title>
<description>UK has had a spurt of prime ministerial turnover in the past decade or so, but it's by no means unprecedented. I download data from Wikipedia and try several ways to visualise that turnover.</description>

<title>Seasonal adjustment</title>
<description>Seasonal adjustment is easy but getting hold of data can be hard. In this case I wrangle Samoa's monthly visitor arrivals data from 2017 to present and then use the seas and fable R packages to seasonally adjust it and ask if there is an impact from Iran war fuel crisis (there isn't evidence of one yet).</description>

<title>Durations of wars</title>
<description>Modern wars on average last longer than a year, but the distribution is very right-skewed. Conditional on a war lasting 74 days and with no information available other than past durations, the median total duration is 261 days, and an 80% prediction interval would be (95, 1,752) days.</description>

<title>Pacific island demograpy, the narrative</title>
<description>Pacific island populations are shaped by people <i>movements</i>, more than is the case for most countries in the world. Ease of migration&mdash;because of history, culture or international agreements&mdash;has a critical impact on population size, growth and shape; and the fundamentals of the economy.</description>
