ppitables: Lookup Tables to Generate Poverty Likelihoods and Rates using the Poverty Probability Index (PPI) 
Lookup tables for estimating the likelihood of poverty using the
Poverty Probability Index (previously called
Progress out of Poverty Index) or PPI from country-specific
indicators collected from cross-sectional surveys. These lookup tables
are extracted from documentation of the PPI found at
https://www.povertyindex.org.
You can install ppitables from CRAN with:
install.packages("ppitables")You can install the current development version from the Katilingban R-universe:
install.packages(
"ppitables",
c('https://nutriverse.r-universe.dev', 'https://cloud.r-project.org')
)The ppitables package contains PPI lookup tables for the 61
countries1 where PPI can currently be calculated. To be able
to use the lookup tables in ppitables appropriately, you need to be
aware of the naming syntax used for the tables for each country. The
name for each table will always have three fixed or constant components
as follows:
ppiXXXYYYYThe name of any of the PPI tables contains:
ppiin lower case letters;XXXwhich is the the three letterISO codeof the country of interest (all capitals); and,YYYYwhich is the specific year at which the country PPI table was released.
These three components are joined together without any spaces or gaps.
Some country lookup tables may have additional components to their name
which are added after the year separated with an underscore. These
usually signify that a lookup table released on a particular year has a
subset table in which the poverty likelihoods for a given PPI score
are reported based on a different poverty definition or cut-off. This
additional component to the table name is usually a character value or
alphanumeric and is usually country-specific. To know more about what
this additional component to some PPI tables refer to, read the index
table below of the PPI tables available in this package.
Following are the available PPI country tables from the ppitables
package. This is updated as at 11 April 2023 using information from the
PPI site.
