R help - Oct 2008 - Displaying number of Y/N affected by tree in rule form RE: R question/request on rules from rpart

Hi Prof. Williams,
	thanks for your suggestion.  The updated code is below.
	It turns out it was a matter of displaying the second column in
yval to get the number of N and subtracting it from the n column in the
frame to get the number of Y remaining in a binary example.

	once this is added now the function returns the rules along with
Y and N count affected by the resulting rule.

	I am ccing the r-help post in case anyone wants to reuse this
updated version as well.

	This is a great little function.  Thanks for developing it and
suggesting how to make the enhancement.

Regards,
Dhruv

Hi Dhruv,

I would think what you propose is possible, and probably even simple.
Would need to explore through the model structure. Might need to
multiply the proportions by the total to get the numbers.
