new version of QCA
Dear All,
I have just uploaded a new version of the QCA (Qualitative Comparative
Analysis) on CRAN, and it will be propagated in a couple of days.
This is version 1.0-0 ("Easter edition") of the package, straight from
the previous version 0.6-5, and it represent a major re-write of the
package in order to accomodate fuzzy-sets. I am pleased to welcome

version 0.3 of QCA
Dear list members,
A new version of the QCA package is now on CRAN.
The QCA package implements the Quine-McCluskey algorithm for boolean
minimizations, according to the Qualitative Comparative Analysis.
Along with the additional improvements in version 0.3-1 (soon to be released
on CRAN), this code is about 100 times faster than the previous "major"
release (0.2-6). It can now

new package QCA
Dear list members,
I am pleased to let you know that R met with QCA - Qualitative Comparative
Analysis.
This package has a few functions that implement the Quine-McCluskey algorithm,
adapted to social sciences by Charles Ragin (as describes in his book from
1987 "The Comparative Method").
Future versions of this package will have more functions to address the
fuzzy-set minimization

QCA version 1.0-4 released
Dear All,
QCA package version 1.0-4 has been released today, the sources are now
visible on CRAN and the binaries for Windows and MacOS should appear
in a couple of more days.
We highly recommend upgrading to this version. Apart from a number of
small bug fixes, the most notable reason to upgrade is a dramatic
increase in speed, due to the compilation of some computationally

QCA version 0.4-5
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

index.search
Dear r-devel,
I am trying to automatically check if two successive versions of a
package have the same results (i.e. code not broken), by parsing the
example sections for each function against a previously tested
version.
While trying to replicate the code from example(), I am facing an
error related with te "index.search" function (line 7 in the example()
code).
This is the code I am

new version of QCAGUI
Dear All,
I have just submitted a new version of the QCAGUI package on CRAN, it
should be propagated in a couple of days.
This version is nothing but a quick update to the latest Rcmdr base
package, and works (as usual) with the QCA package up to version 0.6-5
For the later versions of the QCA package, I will start adapting the
GUI in the shortest time possible.
Best wishes,
Adrian

help with apply, please
Dear list,
I have a problem with a toy example:
mtrx <- matrix(c(1,1,0,1,1,1,0,1,1,0,0,1), nrow=3)
rownames(ma) <- letters[1:3]
I would like to determine which is the minimum combination of rows that
"covers" all columns with at least a 1.
None of the rows covers all columns; all three rows clearly covers all
columns, but there are simpler combinations (1st and the 3rd, or 2nd

a problem of approach
Dear R-help list,
Part of a program I wrote seem to take a significant amount of time,
therefore I am looking for an alternative approach.
In order to explain what is does:
- the input is a sorted vector of integer numbers
- some higher numbers may be derived (using a mathematical formula)
from lower numbers, therefore they should be eliminated
- at the end, the vector should contain only

C code validation
Dear R-devel,
I'm trying to validate the results from a C function, against a (trial
and tested) older R function. For reasons unknown to me, the C
function seems to give different result sometimes at each trial, even
with the very same data.
These are the relevant outputs from R:

C headers
Dear list,
Just upgraded to MacOS Mavericks, fresh install of R 3.0.2 and trying to
install a previous version of my QCA package (the most recent one source
file, which passed the R CMD check --as-cran with R 3.0.1)
I seem to have some difficulties in the C code, apparently it doesn't find
some headers (please see below):

some QCA questions
Dear Adrian Dusa, others,
I've recently started to learn R in order to use the QCA package because
i think it might offer what other QCA packages don't: possibilities for
quite a few conditions and large n. However, can someone tell me approx.
how much RAM i need to run QCA on set of +/- 400.000 cases and +/- 15
conditions? (or differently: how much time will it take with RAM of a

new package QCAGUI
Dear list members,
I'm pleased to let you know there's a new package on CRAN called QCAGUI, a
graphical user interface for the QCA package.
This is a stripped down version of John Fox's Rcmdr package, plus a couple of
menus for QCA.
My thanks to John Fox for his encouragement and advice.
Regards,
Adrian

programming question
Dear list,
I have a vector of numbers, let's say:
myvec <- c(2, 8, 24, 26, 51, 57, 58, 78, 219)
My task is to reduce this vector to non-reducible numbers; small numbers can
cross-out some of the larger ones, based on a function let's say called
reduce()
If I apply the function to the first element 2, my vector gets shorted to:
> (myvec <- reduce(myvec[1]))

R and C pointers
Dear R devel,
Apologies for these (most probably trivial) questions, doing my first
attempt to call C from R (and actually learning C in the process).
I need to pass a matrix to C, and after reading R-exts.pdf (many
times), I was unable to find how to handle matrices at C-level...
except for, what probably is the answer, that matrices are in fact
vectors with dimensions.
This is a sample code I

"NA" vs. NA
Dear All,
I assume this is an R-devel issue, apologies if I missed something
obvious. I have a dataframe where the row names are country codes,
based on ISO 3166, something like this:
------------
"v1" "v2"
"UK" 1 2
"NA" 2 3
------------
It happens that "NA" is the country code for "Namibia", and that
creates problems on
