Hello everyone, 

first of all, thank you for accepting me in this group discussion!
I have an obstacle, which I'm afraid I can't find the solution on my own, so I'm happy to ask this here - any help is greatly appreciated:

I am conducting a fsQCA in R. When using the minimize() function from {QCA} to compute the complex/conservative solution, I am getting the error- message:
"Error in minimize(TruthTable_2, details = TRUE, pi.cons = 0.75, : object 'wel' not found"

I do not get any error-message, when I compute the parsimonious or intermediate solution.

The minimize-function is specified as following:
compsol <- minimize(TruthTable_2, details = TRUE, pi.cons = 0.75, sol.cons = 0.75, use.labels = TRUE, method = "QMC")

My questions are: what does the error mean and how can I resolve it?

Thank you very much for your time!
Best regards
Sophie

Hi Sophie,

I think I know what the problem is, even without a reproducible example.
Could you please try to install the latest development version (3.22.4), using this procedure:
1. Close R
2. Open a fresh instance of R without loading the package QCA
3 Type this command:
 install.packages("QCA", repos = "dusadrian.r-universe.dev")

Then load the QCA package as usual, the problem should be fixed.

Thanks for the report,
Adrian

Hi Adrian,

thank you so much for your fast and helpful reply! 
Following your steps of installation worked: I do not get the error message anymore and can now compute all three solutions (incl. the complex solution).

Many thanks!
Sophie
