Overview

About

Maintained by Breno A. H. MarisguiaCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

Provides functions for assessing and visualizing robustness in Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) workflows built with the 'QCA' package, including calibration thresholds, inclusion cutoffs, frequency cutoffs, case influence, subsample stability, alternative analysis settings, theory-specific condition sets, cluster-specific patterns, and solution summaries. Methods build on Dusa (2019) doi:10.1007/978-3-319-75668-4 and Ragin (2014, ISBN:9780520280038).

Changes in 0.1.2

incl.test() and ncut.test() now leave first_failing missing when the next proposed cutoff lies outside the admissible search range, because that value was not analyzed. Inclusion-cutoff trace plots likewise omit untested boundary proposals and their reference lines.
ncut.test() now rejects a baseline n.cut greater than the number of rows in the analysis data.
altset.test() now verifies that every tested condition or outcome membership in calib.data matches the reference calibration reconstructed from raw.data and calib_spec.
Corrected alternative-set fit reporting so n_fit_deltas = 0 identifies a completed comparison with no differences beyond fit_tol, whereas NA identifies a draw in which fit was not compared. Printed summaries now show the separate denominators for draw availability, formula preservation, and fit preservation.

Show all changes in 0.1.2Hide the rest of the changes in 0.1.2

Removed the unused necessity argument from cluster.test(). The function now documents its scope explicitly as the sufficiency assessment of selected solution formulas and prime implicants, and its displayed configuration values no longer include a redundant solution-type prefix.
Added centralized row-alignment checks for paired raw, calibrated, reduced-run, and truth-table inputs. Identifiable case labels must now be unique and appear in the same order; otherwise pairing remains explicitly positional.
Corrected cluster.test() pooled, cluster-specific, and within-unit calculations. Missing unit identifiers no longer remove rows from pooled or cluster fit, and duplicate unit-cluster observations are rejected.
Isolated cosmetic progress-message selection from R's analytical random-number stream, so progress display cannot change seeded results.
Standardized validation of integer-valued controls, including search budgets, sample sizes, replications, seeds, and display digits. Intentional sample_prop rounding is unchanged.
Declared R (>= 3.5.0), matching the serialization format used by the shipped demonstration data.

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("qcaERT", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("marisguia/qcaERT")

Development version from marisguia/qcaERT. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-qcaert

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-qcaERT

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-qcaERT

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
