# ============================================================================ # node_pattern_confirmation.py — Step 3 of Nelson's framework (PLACEHOLDER) # ============================================================================ # # PURPOSE (from Nelson 2020) # -------------------------- # "The pattern confirmation step assesses the inductively identified # patterns using further computational and natural language processing # techniques." # # Traditional grounded theory mapping: SELECTIVE CODING — the researcher # validates the coded categories against held-out data, typically by # training a supervised classifier on the refined labels and testing # whether it generalizes. # # STATUS # ------ # This is a PLACEHOLDER. When built, this node will: # 1. Read state.refinement_result (the researcher-refined labels) # 2. Train a classifier on 80% of the refined data (using the existing # training.train_classifier function) # 3. Evaluate on the held-out 20% # 4. Report accuracy, per-class precision/recall, and confusion matrix # 5. Write results to state.confirmation_result # # Cannot be built until Step 2 (Pattern Refinement) is real, because this # step needs refined labels as input. # ============================================================================ def pattern_confirmation_node(state): iteration = state.get("iteration", 0) return { "confirmation_result": { "status": "placeholder", "note": ( "Step 3 of Nelson's framework (selective coding / Pattern " "Confirmation) is not yet implemented.
