# Fuzzy-set QCA (fsQCA)

$$
\mathrm{Consistency}(X \le Y) = \frac{\sum_i \min(x_i, y_i)}{\sum_i x_i}
$$

Finds combinations of conditions sufficient for an outcome, with set-membership scores between 0 and 1.

## Variables and notation

x_i and y_i are calibrated membership scores in condition set X and outcome set Y; min is fuzzy intersection; the ratio measures consistency with X being a subset of Y.

## Worked example

For x=(0.8,0.4),y=(0.6,0.5), numerator=0.6+0.4=1 and denominator=1.2, so consistency≈0.8333.

## Related methods and when to use them

fsQCA evaluates set relations and configurations; regression estimates average conditional associations. High sufficiency consistency can coexist with low coverage; calibration and nonzero denominators matter.

Archive counts by publication year: a paper counts when its title, abstract or keywords name the equation, or when OpenAlex's full-text search finds it there (searched for the last 30 days' papers and, by a pass over the past years, for older ones). Names added to the list later are looked for in older papers as the archive is read again.
