d.pacts

This dataset is from Aleman (2009), who analyzes the causes of the emergence of tripartite labor agreements among unions, employers, and government representatives in new democracies in Europe, Latin America, Africa, and Asia between 1994 and 2004.

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.
