Abstract
This paper introduces symbolic data analysis, explaining how it extends the classical data models to take into
account more complete and complex information. Several examples motivate the approach, before the modeling of variables
assuming new types of realizations are formally presented. Some methods for the (multivariate) analysis of symbolic data are
presented and discussed. This is however far from being exhaustive, given the present dynamic development of this new field
of research.
