version: 0.1.5
abstract: Tools for the analysis of interval-valued data, including construction,
  visualization, and statistical modeling. The package provides the 'intData' class
  for representing interval-valued data, along with functions to aggregate microdata
  and to estimate parameters of latent distributions. Barycenter and covariance matrix
  estimation is implemented based on the Mallows distance (Oliveira et al. (2025)
  <https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2407.05105>). Robust estimation of the symbolic
  covariance matrix is implemented via the Interval Minimum Covariance Determinant
  (IMCD) estimator, enabling outlier detection based on the robust squared Interval-Mahalanobis
  distance, as proposed by Loureiro et al. (2026) <https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2604.26769>.
