Developed by PhD Candidate HUANG Ronggui, Wincent, Department of Public and Social Administration, City University of Hong Kong (homepage: http://asrr.r-forge.r-project.org/rghuang.html). "Miscellaneous R functions for quantitative sociological research. Most interesting ones are functions for QCA (e.g. csQCA, mvQCA, fsQCA). As far as I know, this is the first software supporting all three kinds of QCA."
