abstract: Provides threshold sweep methods for Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA).
  Implements Condition Threshold Sweep-Single (CTS-S), Condition Threshold Sweep-Multiple
  (CTS-M), Outcome Threshold Sweep (OTS), and Dual Threshold Sweep (DTS) for systematic
  exploration of threshold calibration effects on crisp-set QCA results. These methods
  extend traditional robustness approaches by treating threshold variation as an exploratory
  tool for discovering causal structures. Also provides Fiss (2011) <https://doi.org/10.5465/amj.2011.60263120>
  core/peripheral condition classification via compute_fiss_core() and generate_fiss_chart(),
  enabling four-symbol configuration charts that distinguish core conditions (present
  in both parsimonious and intermediate solutions) from peripheral conditions (intermediate
  only). Built on top of the 'QCA' package by Dusa (2019) <https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-75668-4>,
  with function arguments following 'QCA' conventions. Based on set-theoretic methods
  by Ragin (2008) <https://doi.org/10.7208/chicago/9780226702797.001.0001> and established
  robustness protocols by Oana and Schneider (2024) <https://doi.org/10.1177/00491241211036158>.
  This package supersedes 'TSQCA'; see the NEWS file for migration guidance.
