nested_core_conditions: Core conditions of one intermediate term relative to one...

In ThSQCA: Threshold-Sweep QCA

Core conditions of one intermediate term relative to one parsimonious model

Description

Implements the configuration-level reading of Fiss (2011): the core conditions of an intermediate configuration are the conditions of the parsimonious term(s) contained in it. A parsimonious term is contained (nested) in the intermediate term when every condition it specifies has the same status (present or absent) in the intermediate term. When several parsimonious terms are contained in it, their conditions are pooled, as in solution 2 of Fiss (2011, Table 4).

Usage

nested_core_conditions(interm_term, parsim_model, conditions)

Arguments

interm_term	Character. A single intermediate-solution term.
parsim_model	Character vector. The terms of one parsimonious minimal solution.
conditions	Character vector of all condition names.

Value

List with core (character, condition names classified as core) and nested (logical, whether any parsimonious term is contained in the intermediate term).
