“…Symbolic data are more unified by means of relationships and they appear in the form of continuous ratio, discrete absolute interval, multi-valued and also multi-valued with weights [14]. The concept of symbolic data has been extensively studied in the area of cluster analysis [15,16,14,17,18,19,20,21] and it has been experimentally shown that the approaches based on symbolic data outperforms conventional data analysis approaches [22,15,16]. A symbolic approach to shape representation and recognition has been explored in [23] and the concept of symbolic data analysis has also been explored in online signature verification and recognition [24].…”
