Computing Multi dimensional poverty index for India using the NFHS data set

[Premika Amudhan]

I am trying to calculate the Multi dimensional poverty index for India using the NFHS data set using the NITI aayog and OPHI's definition and methodology but I keep facing errors and I am unsure as to where I am making errors, if someone has worked in MPI before can you please share the do files, or please guide me on how to compute and get the values. I am currently trying calculate the MPI for the poorest group in the wealth index hv270 variable to see the progress on that sustainable development goal. Please help!

Show your code and provide a snippet of data. If you have all these variables, then it's just multiplication and addition.
