ab: The author gives a short introduction to the SODAS software. SODAS
    (Symbolic Official Data Analysis System) is a modular software in which
    each statistical method (symbolic objects data base, distance matrix
    for symbolic objects, divisible classification of symbolic data,
    symbolic kernel discriminant analysis, symbolic description of groups,
    factorial discriminant analysis, principal component analysis,
    histograms and elementary statistics, segmentation tree for stratified
    data, decision tree, etc.) is manipulated as an icon and icons are
    linked in a chaining. A symbolic data analysis with SODAS software
    looks graphically like a chain with links the statistical methods. The
    top icon represents the symbolic data file. A chaining gathers a set of
    symbolic statistical methods applied to a specified SODAS file. The
    chaining editor is used to create, modify, launch, suppress or rename
    any chaining. In all cases consistency control are made if a method
    needs results from a preceding method.
