d.irrigate

This dataset is from Lam and Ostrom (2010), who analyze the effects of an irrigation
experiment in Nepal.

datasets

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 (2018) <doi:10.1017/psrm.2018.45>. CNA is related to Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA), but contrary to the latter, it is custom-built for uncovering causal structures with multiple outcomes and it builds causal models from the bottom up by gradually combining single factors to complex dependency structures until the requested thresholds of model fit are met. The new functionalities provided by this package version include functions for evaluating and benchmarking the correctness of CNA's output, a function determining whether a solution is an INUS model, a function bringing non-INUS expressions into INUS form, and a function for identifying cyclic models. The package vignette has been updated accordingly.
