Modern information-oriented society brings a large amount of data with growth of computer technology. Various fields including statistics are struggling to develop the techniques to extract valuable information from such data. This paper proposes a new method using the Quine-McClusky algorithm to classify patterns of causal condition. The method can resolve the problems of multicollinearity since it considers higher order interactions.
