Subject | st: Fuzzy set QCA output interpretation |
Date | Tue, 8 Jun 2010 09:45:30 -0700 |
We¹ve got 38 cases and are using fuzzy set QCA for analysis And are wondering why we get only 7-11 cases (depending on the number of variables we include in our causal recipe) with the "tab bestfit" command. According to Longest and Vaisey, Stata Journal 2009, the only reason this should happen is missing data or cases scoring .5 on all individual predictor sets, and, accounting for these cases, we should get 22. Why aren¹t we getting more cases in our best fit, and how should this be interpreted?? Thanks.
