Estimate Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) measures from household survey microdata using the Alkire-Foster dual-cutoff counting method. Load your indicator specification from a CSV, Excel, JSON, or plain-text file; compute the headcount ratio (H), intensity (A), and MPI = H × A; disaggregate by any subgroup; and export results to a formatted Excel report. Complex survey designs — stratification, clustering, and probability weights — are supported out of the box, with optional design-based standard errors and confidence intervals.
