  <dc:title>Causal Modeling with Coincidence Analysis</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package cna version 4.0.3</dc:title>
  <dc:subject>CRAN Task View: CausalInference (https://CRAN.R-project.org/view=CausalInference)</dc:subject>
  <dc:description>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) &lt;doi:10.1177/0049124109339369&gt;, and generalized in Baumgartner &amp; Ambuehl (2020) &lt;doi:10.1017/psrm.2018.45&gt;. CNA is designed to recover INUS-causation from data, which is particularly relevant for analyzing processes featuring conjunctural causation (component causation) and equifinality (alternative causation). CNA is currently the only method for INUS-discovery that allows for multiple effects (outcomes/endogenous factors), meaning it can analyze common-cause and causal chain structures. Moreover, as of version 4.0, it is the only method of its kind that provides measures for model evaluation and selection that are custom-made for the problem of INUS-discovery.</dc:description>
