Qualitative Comparative Analysis
Description
Performs the Quine-McCluskey algorithm for Qualitative
Comparative Analysis, as described in Ragin, Charles C. 1987
"The Comparative Method. Moving beyond qualitative and
quantitative strategies", Berkeley: University of California
Press. In the classical approach it currently handles about 15
conditions and one outcome, but since version 0.4-5 the package
has an enhanced, faster function that obtains the same exact
solutions with a substantially lower memory consumption, and it
handles even more causal conditions. The next versions of this
algorithm will be oriented towards multi-value and fuzzy-set
functions. Also, in the near future the current functions will
deal with missing values in the data
