showMeasures: Show names and abbreviations of con/cov measures and details

In cna: Causal Modeling with Coincidence Analysis

Show names and abbreviations of con/cov measures and details

Description

showMeasures() prints an overview of the available measures for sufficiency and necessity evaluation to the console.

Usage

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

Arguments

conCov	Logical; if TRUE, con/cov measures are printed to the console.
details	Logical; if TRUE, additional solution attributes (details) are printed to the console.

Details

As of version 4.0 of the cna package, not only standard consistency and coverage are available for sufficiency and necessity evaluation, but the cna function can build models using three additional measures for sufficiency and three for necessity evaluation. 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. The function showConCovMeasures() provides easy access to an overview of these measures in the console. The names or aliases corresponding to each measure can be passed to the measures and details arguments of the functions cna and condition, to the details argument of the functions msc, asf, and csf (cf. condTbl), and to the what argument of the detailMeasures function.

Similarly, the function showDetailMeasures() provides an overview of the additional solution attributes (details) that can be used in the details argument of the functions cna, msc, asf, and csf and the what argument of the detailMeasures function. For more information about these attributes, see the package vignette (vignette("cna")).

The function showMeasures() combines the output of showConCovMeasures() and showDetailMeasures().
