Examples

  # Access Mozambique PPI table
  ppiMOZ2024

  # Given a specific PPI score (from 0 - 100), get the row of poverty
  # probabilities from PPI table it corresponds to
  ppiScore <- 50
  ppiMOZ2024[ppiMOZ2024$score == ppiScore, ]

  # Use subset() function to get the row of poverty probabilities
  # corresponding to specific PPI score
  ppiScore <- 50
  subset(ppiMOZ2024, score == ppiScore)

  # Given a specific PPI score (from 0 - 100), get a poverty probability
  # based on a specific poverty definition. In this example, the national
  # poverty line is used
  ppiScore <- 50
