Necessary Condition Analysis in Python

Necessary Condition Analysis (NCA) allows researchers and practitioners to identify necessary (but not sufficient) conditions in data sets.

This is a Python implementation of the original NCA R package including only the basic functionality of NCA for users who want to have a native implementation in Python.

Please cite the NCA package as:
