Theoretical aspects of Fuzzy Set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA)

Fuzzy set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) is a methodology for obtaining linguistic summarizations from data that are associated with cases. It has recently been described as a collection of 13 steps [7]. In this paper we focus on how to greatly speed up some of the computationally intensive steps of fsQCA and show how to use the speed-up equations to obtain some interesting and important properties of fsQCA. These properties not only...
