Abstract:
Configurational comparative methods (CCMs) and logic regression methods (LRMs) are two exploratory methods that help analyze data generated by causal structures. Aiming for the same by different means carries a substantive synergy potential, which, however, remains untapped so far because representatives of the two frameworks know little of each other. The scholars first level the field for readers from both backgrounds by providing brief introductions to the basic ideas behind CCMs and LRMs. Then, the research carves out the strengths and weaknesses of the two methods by benchmarking their performance. It turns out that CCMs and LRMs have complementary strengths and weaknesses. This creates various promising avenues for cross-validation.
