Description: 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) <doi: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. (2026b) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2604.26769>.
    Explainable outlier detection is supported through Shapley value based decomposition 
    of the squared robust Interval-Mahalanobis distance, allowing assessment of variable 
    contributions to outlyingness (Loureiro et al. (2026a) <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2606.26307>). 
    Shapley interaction indices are also implemented, along with visualization tools to 
    support interpretation of the results.
