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 cutoff liner and the acrossdimension cutoff line k pk is a dual cutoff method of identification the matrix is then censored goa which means that the deprivations of the nonpoor are excluded they are assigned a value of zero hqn 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
