Thus, pk (the identification method) identifies person i as poor when the number of weighted deprivations is at least k. Since pk is dependent on both the within- dimension cut-off liner/ and the across-dimension cut-off line k, pk is a dual cut-off method of identification. The matrix is then censored (gOA), which means that the deprivations of the non-poor are excluded (they are assigned a value of zero). H=q/n, where q is the number of poor people and n is the total population. This value is then divided by the total number of poor individuals (q).
