In cna: Causal Modeling with Coincidence Analysis

Show names and aliases of the con/cov measures and of the solution attributes

Description

showMeasures prints an overview of the available measures for sufficiency and necessity evaluation as well as of the additional solution attributes (details) to the console; showConCovMeasures and showDetailMeasures print the two parts separately.

Usage

showMeasures(conCov = TRUE, details = TRUE)
showConCovMeasures()
showDetailMeasures() 

Arguments

conCov	Logical; if TRUE (the default), con/cov measures are printed to the console.
details	Logical; if TRUE (the default), additional solution attributes (details) are printed to the console. If both conCov and details are FALSE, nothing is printed.

Details

As of version 4.0 of the cna package, four measures are available for sufficiency evaluation and four for necessity evaluation. For model building, cna uses one measure of each kind (cf. its measures argument). Their theoretical background is discussed in the package vignette (vignette("cna")) and in De Souter and Baumgartner (2025). The measures have different names and aliases.
showConCovMeasures prints an overview of these measures to the console. The names or aliases corresponding to each measure can be passed to the measures argument of cna and of condition, to the details argument of cna, msc, asf, and csf (cf. condTbl), and to the what argument of detailMeasures.

Similarly, the function showDetailMeasures provides an overview of the eight additional solution attributes (details) that can be used in the details argument of the functions cna, msc, asf, and csf and in the what argument of the detailMeasures function: inus, cyclic, fm_empirical, fm_structural, exhaustiveness, faithfulness, coherence, and redundant. For more information about these attributes, see sections 5.2 to 5.5 of the package vignette (vignette("cna")).

The function showMeasures combines the output of showConCovMeasures and showDetailMeasures.
