TL;DR

A regression approach is provided for symbolic histogram-valued data and several possible alternative models using classical techniques are compared, with the symbolic regression approach preferred.

Abstract

Billard and Diday (2000) developed procedures for fitting a regression equation to symbolic interval-valued data. The present paper compares that approach with several possible alternative models using classical techniques; the symbolic regression approach is preferred. Thence, a regression approach is provided for symbolic histogram-valued data. The results are illustrated with a medical data set.
