Regional HDI values were calculated by averaging HDI figures over time and constituent countries with volcanic fatalities.
Low and very high-human-development countries are defined by using the fixed cutoff points based on quartiles of HDI values introduced by the 2014 Human Development Report (HDI < 0.55 and HDI > 0.8, respectively (see HDR_technical_notes.pdf and Methods).
ELISA inhibition assay, in which microtiter plates are coated with the HDI(2 -HSA antigen, has a sensitivity of 300 nM HDI adduct.
Since GII includes different dimensions than HDI, it cannot be interpreted as a loss or gain in HDI itself, i.e, it is unrelated to gender.
The differences in HDI score between country cohorts were due to different scores for specific HDI components (table 1).
12 13 The HDI is a composite index that classifies countries, states and cities as developed (very high HDI >0.85, high HDI 0.70 0.85), developing (medium HDI 0.55 0.70) or underdeveloped (low HDI 0.40 0.55, very low HDI <0.40).
The improvement in Māori HDI scores from 0.650 in 1991 to 0.728 in 2001 means a decrease in the HDI gap.
The HDI measures development by combining indicators of life expectancy, educational attainment, and income into a composite HDI.

What quality of life factors does the HDI measure?
Back in 1975, a graph plotting fertility rate against the HDI fell as the HDI rose.
