Fortunately Stephen included the script he used to download the dataset from our web site, and gave full credit to us. What concerns me is that the rpart.plot package does not contain many functions but the pac...

(Sorry for the slightly off topic post) I'm giving a talk (on data mining) to some non-statisticians (who're all postgrad students, but a mixture of Science and Commerce majors). My intention is to show them the importance of statistics when doing data mining. What I'm thinking of doing is using, hopefully, two datasets. One from scientific area and another that is

Hello All, I've problems to interpret the contourplot for a binary response dependent variable. For example, I ploted the survived probability for the titanic3 dataset, http://www.geocities.com/useebi/data/CondenContour.jpeg Trellis displayed two panels of contour, one for dead and one for alive. However, the contours between the two panels didn't conform to the rule of prob(dead) = 1 - prob(alive). How I should read the contours? What...
