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.
