Philosophy and Mission
qdap
is born out of a frustration with current discourse analysis programs. Packaged programs are a closed system, meaning the researcher using the method has little, if any, influence on the program applied to his data.
R already has thousands of excellent packages for statistics and visualization. qdap
is designed to stand as a bridge between the qualitative discourse of a transcript and the computational power and freedom that R offers.
The qdap package is born as a means of providing researchers with the tools to analyze data and more importantly as a dynamic system governed by the data, shaped by theory and continuously refined by the field. qdap
gives the back back to the researcher...
...if you can dream up an analysis qdap
and R can help get you there.
