cna: Causal Modeling with Coincidence Analysis (original) (raw)

Provides comprehensive functionalities for causal modeling with Coincidence Analysis (CNA), which is a configurational comparative method of causal data analysis that was first introduced in Baumgartner (2009) <doi:10.1177/0049124109339369>, and generalized in Baumgartner & Ambuehl (2020) <doi:10.1017/psrm.2018.45>.
