plot.fsQCApt: Plot Results of fsQCA Permutation Test

In QCAfalsePositive: Tests for Type I Error in Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA)

Description

Plots distributions of consistencies and counterexamples from permutation tests of fsQCA data, including confidence intervals adjusted to account for multiple inference. Also prints observed consistency values and number of counterexamples as black dots along the x-axis, for comparison.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'fsQCApt'
plot(x, y = x$config.names, statistic = "both", ...)

Arguments

x	Object returned by fsQCApermTest.
y	A vector of configurations to examine. Default behavior is to examine all configurations.
statistic	The statistic to examine (consistency, counterexamples, or both).
...	Additional parameters to pass on.

Value

Plots of distributions of consistencies, counterexamples, or both.

Examples

data(social.revolutions)
attach(social.revolutions)

intersect <- pmin(breakdown, pop.ins)
intersect2 <- pmin(breakdown, (1-pop.ins))
intersect3 <- pmin((1-breakdown), pop.ins)
intersect4 <- pmin((1-breakdown), (1-pop.ins))

test <- fsQCApermTest(y=soc.rev, configs=list(BI=intersect, Bi=intersect2,
   bI=intersect3, bi=intersect4), total.configs=4)
plot(test)
plot(test, "bi", statistic="consistency")
plot(test, c("BI", "Bi"), statistic="both")
plot(test, statistic="consistency")
plot(test, "BI")
