Hi Noah, I did ask basically the same question about a year ago and there wasn't anything around (http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/e14/help/11/06/3651.html) Although I agree that R would be very suitable for this kind of calculations exist. I guess one reason is that a decision tree is not really a branch of statistics. The advanced user of a decision tree will more likely program something in Excel. If you find something, please let us know.
