Abstract We present cna, a package for performing Coincidence Analysis (CNA). CNA is a config urational comparative method for the identification of complex causal dependencies—in particular, causal chains and common cause structures—in configurational data. After a brief introduction to the method’s theoretical background and main algorithmic ideas, we demonstrate the use of the package by means of an artificial and a real-life data set. Moreover, we outline planned enhancements of the package that will further increase its applicability.
