Last year, I read an article on FiveThirtyEight about gun deaths in the US. Intrigued, and looking for some practice, I started poking around in the dataset myself. I noticed what seemed to an odd drop in February of each year, and it got me curious about seasonality in the dataset. I’ve returned to it to give it a proper look. If you’re curious, you can see the project here.
