Description Estimates the poverty rate which is defined as the share of people with an equivalized disposable income below the at-risk-of-poverty threshold. Usage arpr(dataset, arpt.value, ci = FALSE, rep = 1000, verbose = FALSE) Arguments dataset
a data.frame containing variables obtained by using the setupDataset function.
arpt.value
the at-risk-of-poverty threshold to be used (see arpt).
ci
logical; if TRUE, 95 percent confidence interval is given for the at-risk-ofpoverty rate.
rep
a number to make the confidence interval using boostrap technique.
verbose
logical; if TRUE the confindence interval is plotted.
Details The equivalized disposable income is calculated using the standar equivalence scale (called the modified OECD scale) recommended by Eurostat. The parametric scale of Buhmann et al. (1988) can also be used. The default is the modified OECD scale (see setupDataset). Value The value of the at-risk-of-poverty rate.
