A condition can be both necessary and sufficient. For example, at present, "today is the Fourth of July" is a necessary and sufficient condition for "today is Independence Day in the United States". Similarly, a necessary and sufficient condition for invertibility of a matrix M is that M has a nonzero determinant.
In writing, phrases commonly used as alternatives to P "if and only if" Q include: Q is necessary and sufficient for P, for P it is necessary and sufficient that Q, P is equivalent (or materially equivalent) to Q (compare with material implication), P precisely if Q, P precisely (or exactly) when Q, P exactly in case Q, and P just in case Q.

Necessary condition analysis follows a step-by-step approach to identify necessary conditions. The key steps involved in conducting NCA are as follows: Formulation of a necessity hypothesis: The first step in NCA is to clearly define the theoretical expectation specifying the condition(s) that may be necessary for the outcome of interest.
