generate_fiss_chart: Generate Fiss-Style Configuration Chart from Sweep Results

In ThSQCA: Threshold-Sweep QCA

Generate Fiss-Style Configuration Chart from Sweep Results

Description

Produces a Markdown-formatted configuration chart following Fiss (2011), using four symbols to distinguish core conditions (conditions of the parsimonious term contained in each configuration) from peripheral conditions (present in the intermediate solution only).

Usage

generate_fiss_chart(
  result,
  conditions = NULL,
  symbol_set = c("unicode", "ascii", "latex"),
  language = c("en", "ja")
)

Arguments

result	Sweep result augmented by compute_fiss_core.
conditions	Character vector. Condition names (row order). If NULL, extracted from stored settings.
symbol_set	Character. One of "unicode" (default), "ascii", or "latex".
language	Character. "en" (default) or "ja".

Details

Call compute_fiss_core first to augment the sweep result.

Value

Character string: Markdown-formatted Fiss configuration chart.
