Configurations that lack empirical instances. Usually, truth tables display rows (or configurations) without enough empirical evidence because the number of cases travelling along these rows (or configurations) falls below the minimum (frequency) thresholds defined by researchers according to standards of good practice. Among researchers, it has now become conventional to report the results obtained with the aid of remainders through a process called “counterfactual analysis”, which entails conjecturing the effect that an unobserved configuration of conditions would exhibit if it did exist. | Concept | Rihoux & Ragin, 2009 |
