Thanks, yes, understand that PARTY offers a lot lot more than CHAID. mmm, allow me to rephrase it. If I am looking for something similar to CART (to grow tree and prune back) and CHAID (using sig test to stop the tree), I can use RPART and PARTY respectively? And are there any more other R packages that offer improved CART/CHAID technqiues?

Not truthfully. CART is a trademark of commercial software. rpart (sic) is similar but not 'modified' from anything -- it is an independent implementation of the ideas in Breiman, Friedman, Olshen and Stone (with some extra ideas by Terry Therneau and others). party (sic) is very much more general than CHAID. > Thanks. > ---- > Chua Siang Li > Consultant - Operations Research > Acceval Pte Ltd > Tel: 6297 8740 > Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Website: [2]www.acceval-intl.com -- Brian D.
