Symbolic data analysis is a relatively new field that provides a range of methods for analyzing complex datasets. Standard statistical methods do not have the power or flexibility to make sense of very large datasets, and symbolic data analysis techniques have been developed in order to extract knowledge from such a data.

The first book to present a unified account of symbolic data analysis methods in a consistent statistical framework, Symbolic Data Analysis features a substantial number of examples from a range of application areas, including health, the social sciences, economics, and computer science.
