Qualitative Comparative Analysis
Description
Performs the Quine-McCluskey algorithm for Qualitative
Comparative Analysis, for both crisp versions: bvQCA
(binary-value QCA) and for mvQCA (multi-value QCA). In the
classical approach it currently handles about 15 conditions and
one outcome for binary data only, 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,
it handles even more causal conditions; the enhanced function
eqmcc() can also be used for mvQCA. The next versions of this
algorithm will be oriented towards fuzzy-set functions. Also,
in the near future the current functions will deal with missing
values in the data
