cnaOpt: Optimizing Consistency and Coverage in Configurational Causal Modeling

This is an add-on to the 'cna' package <https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=cna> comprising various functions for optimizing consistency and coverage scores of models of configurational comparative methods as Coincidence Analysis (CNA) and Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA). The function conCovOpt() calculates con-cov optima, selectMax() selects con-cov maxima among the con-cov optima, DNFbuild() can be used to build models actually reaching those optima, and findOutcomes() identifies those factor values in analyzed data that can be modeled as outcomes. For a theoretical introduction to these functions see Baumgartner and Ambuehl (2021) <doi:10.1177/0049124121995554>.
