 Hello,

  I' m trying to change the formula in the rpart function. The

 the dependent variable and expression is set of terms containing the

 of the formula is more than one dependent variable. It is possible?

You should take a look at package 'mvpart':

Try one or both the packages mvpart or party. mvpart replaces all of
rpart when you load it and provides handling for multivariate responses.
party provides an alternative implementation based on conditional
inference trees.
