In statistics, qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) is a data analysis based on set theory to examine the relationship of conditions to outcome. QCA describes the relationship in terms of necessary conditions and sufficient conditions.[1] The technique was originally developed by Charles Ragin in 1987[2] to study data sets that are too small for linear regression analysis but large for cross-case analysis.[3]
