What is a .DHT file?
A .DHT file is a type of data file specifically used with GAUSS, which is a program designed for working with statistical information, particularly focusing on matrix operations. This file doesn't contain the actual data you might be analyzing or working with. Instead, it holds important header information for a dataset. This includes details like the names of different fields (or columns) in your data, as well as other key pieces of metadata. Metadata is essentially data about data, providing insights or information about the characteristics of the dataset.
The actual data that corresponds to this header information is stored in a separate file, which has a .dat extension. Think of the .DHT file as a guidebook or a table of contents for the .dat file, telling the GAUSS program how to interpret and organize the data contained within the .dat file.
If you need to open a .DHT file, you would use the Aptech GAUSS software. This program understands how to read the header information in the .DHT file and use it to correctly work with the associated .dat file, allowing for effective data analysis and processing.
Verification
Our goal is to help people find the most up-to-date information about file extensions for Windows, Mac, Linux, Android and iOS. We researched over 10,000 file extensions and their respective programs that open those files. If you want to suggest edits or updates about .DHT file formats, example files, or programs that are compatible. Please contact us.
