Abstract
We present the CRAN R package MAINT.Data for the modelling and analysis of multivariate interval data, i.e., where units are described by variables whose values are intervals of IR, representing intrinsic variability. Parametric inference methodologies based on probabilistic models for interval variables have been developed, where each interval is represented by its midpoint and log-range, for which multivariate Normal and Skew-Normal distributions are assumed. The intrinsic nature of the interval variables leads to special structures of the variance-covariance matrix, which are represented by four different possible configurations. MAINT.Data implements the proposed methodologies in the S4 object system, introducing a specific data class for representing interval data. It includes functions and methods for modelling and analysing interval data, in particular maximum likelihood estimation, statistical tests for the different configurations, (M)ANOVA and Discriminant Analysis. For the Gaussian model, Model-based Clustering, robust estimation, outlier detection and Robust Discriminant Analysis are also available.

Abstract
Centrality measures are used in network science to assess the centrality of vertices or the position they occupy in a network. There are a large number of centrality measures according to some criterion. However, the generalizations of the most well-known centrality measures for weighted networks, degree centrality, closeness centrality and betweenness centrality have solely assumed the edge weights to be constants. This article proposes a methodology to generalize degree, closeness and betweenness centralities taking into account the variability of edge weights in the form of closed intervals (interval-weighted networks, IWN). We apply our centrality measures approach to two real-world IWN. The first is a commuter network in mainland Portugal, between the 23 NUTS 3 Regions. The second focuses on annual merchandise trade between 28 European countries, from 2003 to 2015.
