Dear useRs: I try to plot an rpart object but cannot get a nice tree structure plot. I am using plot.rpart and text.rpart (please see below) but the branches that connect the nodes overlap the text in the ellipses and rectangles. Is there a way to get a clean nice tree plot (as in the Rpart Mayo report)? I work under Windows and use R2.11.1 with rpart version 3.1-46. Thank you. Tudor ...

Dear all: Is there a way one could plot two conditional inference trees (party package, ctree) in a figure specified by layout? My attempts failed as plot.party seemed to take over the layout functionality and forced a single ctree plot to be displayed. A brief (non reproducible) example together with the intended behavior follows below. I hope I am not missing something obvious. My system:

Dear list: I would like to recreate how the artificial data set BregFix was generated in package flexmix (thanks Bettina and Friedrich). The data set is thoroughly described in Grun and Leisch's Computational Statistics & Data Analysis 51(11) :5247-5252 but references to the appropriate seed number(s) are missing (providing these details was certainly beyond the scope of the authors'

Dear useRs: I try to use mob from the party package (thanks Achim and Co.!) to model based recursive partition a data set. The model is a logistic regression specified with model=glinearModel and family=binomial(). Running mob results in a few warnings of the type: In glm.fit ... algorithm did not converge. As I speculate that this may be due to an insufficient number of iterations I am

Dear useRs: Is there a way I could predict the terminal node associated with a new data entry in an rpart environment? In the example below, if I had a new data entry with an AM of 5, I would like to link it to the terminal node 2. My searches led to http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/e4/help/08/07/17702.html but I do not seem to be able to operationalize Professor Ripley's suggestions. Many

Hello: Has anyone tried to model-based recursive partition (using mob from package party; thanks Achim and colleagues) a data set based on a multinomial logit model (using mlogit from package mlogit; thanks Yves)? I attempted to do so, but there are at least two reasons why I could not. First, in mob I am not quite sure that a model of class StatModel exists for mlogit models. Second, as

Dear useRs: I successfully model-based partitioned several datasets through the use of mob from the party package (thanks Achim et al. once again !!!). At times, however, the partitioning leads to terminal nodes in which the parameter estimates of the model are not significant (although the split points and in general the proposed segmentation both seem reasonable). As I do not seem to be able

Dear All: For a few days now I have struggled with recreating a stable LaTeX/R/Sweave environment on a new Windows XP SP3 machine. Unfortunately it seems that I ran out of good ideas and I would like your expert opinion on how I should approach this task and be successful. In essence, I installed (several times) in this order the following: R2.10.1 (and then R 2.9.2), Adobe Acrobat Reader 9
