matches.suf.typtyp: Match typical cases for each conjunct in a sufficient term..

Description

A function that matches typical cases with regards to sufficiency for each INUS condition.

Usage

matches.suf.typtyp(results, outcome, term = 1, neg.out=FALSE, 
                    intermed=FALSE, sol=1, max_pairs = 5)

Arguments

results

An object of class "qca".

outcome

A character string with the name of the outcome.

term

A numeric vector where the first number indicates the number of the term according to the order in the "qca" object.

neg.out

Logical. Should the negated outcome be used?

intermed

Logical. Should the intermediate solution be used?

sol

A numeric vector where the first number indicates the number of the solution in case of model ambiguity according to the order in the "qca" object.

max_pairs

Maximum number of pairs to extract.

# Get the parsimonious solution:

                conditions = c("EMP","BARGAIN","UNI","OCCUP","STOCK", "MA"),
                incl.cut1 = .9,

                details = TRUE, show.cases = TRUE)

# Get the intermediate solution:

sol_yi <- eqmcc(Schneider, outcome = "EXPORT",

                details = TRUE, show.cases = TRUE, dir.exp = c(0,0,0,0,0,0))

# Match typical cases for each conjunct for the second term of the parsimonious solution:

matches.suf.typtyp(results = sol_yp, outcome = "EXPORT", term = 2)

# Match typical cases for each conjunct for the first term (default) of 
# the parsimonious solution and return only the best 3 pairs:

matches.suf.typtyp(results = sol_yp, outcome = "EXPORT", max_pairs=3)

# Match typical cases for each conjunct for the first term (default) 
# of the intermediate solution:

matches.suf.typtyp(results = sol_yi, outcome = "EXPORT", intermed = TRUE)

# Get the parsimonious solution for the absence of the outcome:

sol_nyp <- eqmcc(Schneider, outcome = "EXPORT", neg.out = TRUE,
                conditions = c("EMP","BARGAIN","UNI","OCCUP","STOCK", "MA"),
                incl.cut1 = .9, 
                include = "?", 					   
                details = TRUE, show.cases = TRUE)

# Match typical cases for each conjunct for the first term (default) 
# of the second parsimonious solution for the absence of the outcome:

matches.suf.typtyp(results = sol_nyp, outcome = "EXPORT", neg.out = TRUE, sol = 2)
