“Obviously, this uncertainty might come from measurement error, as is suggested by Braumoeller and Goertz (2000, 848).”

In the citing paper
“In this case, the necessary condition hypothesis can be maintained despite these counterexamples.”

In the citing paper
“These suggestions for explicitly (or implicitly) addressing measurement error made by Dion (1998), Braumoeller and Goertz (2000), and Clark, Gilligan, and Golder (2006) have, however, found little or any resonance among scholars employing QCA.”

In the citing paper
“These authors present a simple test for necessary conditions relying on the idea that counterexamples to necessary conditions might be due to measurement error.”
From Qualitative Comparative Analysis: How Inductive Use and Measurement Error Lead to Problematic Inference (2013) · cites this paper as Braumoeller and Goertz (2000)
In the citing paper
“If the extent of this measurement error can be assessed (e.g., through reliability tests), this information can be used to assess whether observed counterexamples to a necessary condition are likely to stem from measurement error.”
From Qualitative Comparative Analysis: How Inductive Use and Measurement Error Lead to Problematic Inference (2013) · cites this paper as Braumoeller and Goertz (2000)
In the citing paper
“Braumoeller and Goertz (2000) also recommend an assessment of the power of this test, or, inversely, the type II error, namely the error of wrongly keeping the necessary condition hypothesis despite it being wrong.”
From Qualitative Comparative Analysis: How Inductive Use and Measurement Error Lead to Problematic Inference (2013) · cites this paper as Braumoeller and Goertz (2000)
In the citing paper
“As any necessary condition can easily be transformed into a sufficient condition (and vice versa) (see, for instance, Braumoeller and Goertz 2000, 846)”

“While Braumoeller and Goertz (2000) proposed that tests obviously only deal with one of the problems I have raised, namely measurement error”

In the citing paper
“Similarly, based on their p II-test, Braumoeller and Goertz (2000) suggest that even without any counterexamples, necessary condition hypotheses need to be rejected if less than seven cases support them.”

In the citing paper
“Braumoeller and Goertz (2000) also suggest that testing for the triviality of the necessary condition, by comparing the distribution of the values for X for each of the values of Y”

In the citing paper
“Braumoeller and Goertz (2000) provide tools that have hardly ever been employed in the literature, but which allow the testing of necessary condition hypotheses when faced with measurement error.”
From Qualitative Comparative Analysis: How Inductive Use and Measurement Error Lead to Problematic Inference (2013) · cites this paper as Braumoeller and Goertz (2000)
In the citing paper
“Following Braumoeller and Goertz (2000, 848), the pI -test would suggest rejecting the necessary condition hypothesis if this lower bound is higher than the error to be expected in the cell corresponding to the counterexamples in a two-by-two table.”

In the citing paper
“As Braumoeller and Goertz (2000) demonstrate, however, it is not only the share of consistent cases that is important, but also the absolute number.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
