You're really mixed up eh? Works like this.
- Yp is absolute poverty (relative term meaning insufficient daily funds to meet basic human needs)
- H is headcount, amount of people below poverty gap.
- We use these two to measure a very large amount of values, APG being the most useless imo.
- TPG: Total amount of daily income required to pull those in absolute poverty to the required minimum. Sum of (I don't know how to write sigma for you statisticians) (Yp-Yi) so the sum of the difference between each individual and the poverty gap
-APG: TPG/N, so just the total poverty gap spread over the population, seems stupid to me.
-NPG: APG/Yp so the average poverty gap normalized with the poverty gap, always gives a value between 0 and 1 so this is usefull to compare countries.
- AIS: Average income shortfall, this ones usefull. TPG/H, spread over the poor rather than the entire population. Its how much, on average, each absolutely impoverished individual requires to escape to the minimum level of absolute poverty.
-NIS: Normalized Income shortfall, AIS/Yp, again normalized to ease comparison.
Theres also the oft used Foster0Greer-Thorbecke indexe, measurements of inequality among absolute poverty using CV or Gini concentration ratio and the human poverty index but those are all bitches to write out so look em up yourself.

How do you calculate an annualized turnover rate?
If you're talking about Annualized Turnover calculations for Human Resources: 12 month, annualized - turnover # for a month divided by the headcount for the group. Then multiply that by 12/1 (12 equating to the fact that there are 12 months in a year, 1 being the respective month you are in ... the 2nd month would be '2', the 3rd month would be '3', etc). It gets a little more complicated when you get to month '2' of the equation because you'll need the 'Average Turnover #' and the 'Average Headcount' up to that point in time. It's best to think of Annualization as a predicted indicator 12th month performance if all headcount and turnover remain constant, it's like a predictor.
