Abstract
In this paper we propose an extension of the Generalised Canonical Analysis to the study of symbolic objects. The aim is to analyse symbolic objects on a factorial plan. In the reduced sub-space, the symbolic objects are represented by polygons instead of points as in the classical data analysis. This kind of representation seems consistent with their original meaning of complex information. Furthermore we propose a symbolic interpretation of the factorial axes, and an evaluation of the quality of the images of the symbolic objects on the factorial plan.
The paper has been supported by Esprit Project n. 20821 grant: Symbolic Official Data Analysis System. The author is grateful to prof. Carlo Lauro for helpful comments.
