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)
        <doi:10.1177/0049124109339369>, and generalized in Baumgartner
        & Ambuehl (2020) <doi:10.1017/psrm.2018.45>. 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.
