Count of discrete, dated, located events in which a PMSC was reported to be involved within a given unit (country-year, conflict-episode, region-year). PSED's primary unit of observation. Each event must satisfy two coding rules: (1) at least one PMSC is named or clearly identifiable in the source, and (2) the PMSC is involved in one of the seven event types (work, demonstration, riot, strike, violence, crime, plot).
