This workshop will provide an introduction to Necessary Condition Analysis (NCA). NCA is an upcoming approach that can be used to test whether a condition (X) is necessary but not sufficient for an outcome (Y). It provides a new perspective on existing phenomena and is complementary to the regression-based modeling that we usually apply.
