Hi, I'm new to CART. I have a data set with a binary reponse (0/1) and several predictors. I chose 2 continuous predictors to start and used the following code. testdata.ltr<-tree(nondev85dev06~dist_rampm_wa + dis_prim_wa,testdata) The two predictors should be quite explanatory based upon previous work. After running this code, I am getting only one split using the first predictor listed. I've tried this with other sets of 2 and 3 predictors and it is always the same case, only one is used for a single split. I thought perhaps it was the binary nature of my data set. So, I constructed another where the response was 0,1, or 2. I got the same result. I've also tried the same experiment with predictors that are binary and got the same results. I've searched the help but can't find any answers. Thanks.
