Hi, Andy, Thank you again for your help. Tree( ) does have an option split='gini' in my version, which I recently downloaded from CRAN. The question is the tree.control only controls over mindev, no option for gini. Or maybe there is a way to specify a 'cp' like parameter when using gini index in tree( )?

Auston, tree() does not use Gini as splitting criterion, AFAIK. It uses deviance. You can try to see if the various splitting criteria available in rpart is described in Terry's tech report (available on the Mayo Clinic web site).

Well, I tried 'gini' for both of them and my data has no NAs, but they still don't match. BTW, what is exactly the splitting criterion 'information' used in rpart? Thanks.

I guess if you define the splitting criterion in rpart so that it matches the one used in tree(), that's possible. However, I believe the two also differ in how they handle NAs.
