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 data. Symbolic data methods differ
from that of data mining, for example, because rather than identifying
points of interest in the data, symbolic data methods allow the user to
build models of the data and make predictions about future events. This
book is the result of the work f a pan-European project team led by
Edwin Diday following 3 years work sponsored by EUROSTAT. It includes a
full explanation of the new SODAS software developed as a result of this
project. The software and methods described highlight the crossover
between statistics and computer science, with a particular emphasis on
data mining.
