QCA implements the Qualitative Comparative Analysis using a boolean minimization algorithm for data coded with presence/absence of the causal conditions that affects a phenomenon of interest. This new release has an experimental function that obtains the same exact solutions as the main minimization function, using a shortcut instead of the classical complete and exhaustive algorithm. This new function is faster and uses significantly less memory (50 MB compared to 1.5 GB for large datasets). It should appear soon on CRAN, feedback is welcome.
