QCA (version 1.0-2)

factorize: Factorize a QCA Solution

Description

This function finds all combinations of common factors of literals in a solution.

Usage

factorize(sol.obj, splitmethod = "", sort.by.literals = FALSE, sort.by.number = FALSE)

Arguments

sol.obj

An object containting either the list of solutions, or a single character solution

splitmethod

The separator of the literals within a Boolean product

sort.by.literals

Logical, sort results by the largest number of literals as common factor

sort.by.number

Logical, sort results by the largest number of elements that have been factorized
