Conjunctive Analysis of Case Configurations
Conjunctive analysis of case configurations (CACC) is an exploratory, case-based method for analyzing categorical crime data. Introduced by Miethe, Hart, and Regoeczi in 2008, it builds a matrix of all observed combinations of categorical attributes — the distinct case 'profiles' — and tabulates how often each occurs and what its outcome rate is, revealing how attributes act in combination rather than as isolated net effects.
