Dear R-helpers, I had a conversation with a guy working in a "business intelligence" department at a major Spanish bank. They rely on recursive partitioning methods to rank customers according to certain criteria.
They use both SAS EM and Salford Systems' CART. I have used package R part in the past, but I could not provide any kind of feature comparison or the like as I have no access to any installation of the first two proprietary products. Has anybody experience with them? Is there any public benchmark available? Is there any very good --although solely technical-- reason to pay hefty software licences? How would the algorithms implemented in rpart compare to those in SAS and/or CART? Best regards, Carlos J.
