Lesson plan
DAP (software)
DAP is a statistics and graphics program based on the C programming language that performs data management, analysis, and C-style graphical visualization tasks without requiring complex syntax. Its name is an acronym for Data Analysis and Presentation. DAP was written to be a free replacement for SAS, but users are assumed to have a basic familiarity with the C programming language in order to permit greater flexibility. It has been designed to be used on large data sets and is primarily used in statistical consulting practices. However, even with its clear benefits, DAP hasn't been updated since 2014 and hasn't seen widespread use when compared to other statistical analysis programs.
