""" . . . this book will interest those who would like to expand their understanding regarding distributional data and its application in data science and to have a solid mathematical background on the different concepts under symbolic data analysis. This book also provides illustrative examples based on R package and open data which can contribute to the understanding on how to apply these methods to distributional data. This book can also benefit academic researchers who would like apply these types of approaches in their fields."" ~Sébastien Bailly, ISCB Book Reviews"
