Examples

  # Access Paraguay PPI table
  ppiPRY2012

  # Given a specific PPI score (from 0 - 100), get the row of poverty
  # probabilities from PPI table it corresponds to
  ppiScore <- 50
  ppiPRY2012[ppiPRY2012$score == ppiScore, ]

  # Use subset() function to get the row of poverty probabilities corresponding
  # to specific PPI score
  ppiScore <- 50
  subset(ppiPRY2012, score == ppiScore)
