Description

Estimate Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) measures from household survey microdata using the Alkire-Foster dual-cutoff counting method (Alkire and Foster, 2011). Load indicator specifications from CSV, Excel, JSON, or plain-text files; compute the headcount ratio (H), intensity (A), and MPI = H x A across any subgroup; and export results to formatted Excel reports. Supports complex survey designs — stratification, clustering, and probability weights — and optionally appends design-based standard errors and confidence intervals.
