Causal coding is fascinating but can take a lot of time. Using AI to help you is pretty easy, especially if you provide a codebook of factor labels which the AI has to use, as we will explain in this chapter, when we've finished it!

The following chapter looks at what happens when you do not provide a codebook: Intro -- inductive auto-coding
