Fast Fuzzy set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (Fast 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 [3]. In this paper we focus on how to speed up some of the computationally intensive steps of fsQCA and how to use the speed-up equations to obtain some interesting properties of fsQCA.
