Dear Colleagues,



I've been looking for a function that can perform a tree analysis, similar to 
CHAID or QUEST.

`ctree' in package `party' implements unbiased recursive partitioning in a way inspired by CHAID. The methodological details are in

@article{party2006,
    key = {566},
    author = {Torsten Hothorn and Kurt Hornik and Achim Zeileis},
    title = {Unbiased Recursive Partitioning: A Conditional Inference
             Framework},
    journal = {Journal of Computational and Graphical Statistics},
    year = 2006,
    note = {in press}
}

A preprint is available from
http://statmath.wu-wien.ac.at/~zeileis/papers/Hothorn+Hornik+Zeileis-2006.pdf

The package vignette explains the operational details.

HTH,

Torsten

The key point is that in this case the variables are not binary but nominal (10 different values), so "tree" (from the tree package) won't work. Does anybody know help?



Sincerely,
