Hi,
I am trying to write my own split function for rpart. The aim is to do, instead
of anova, a linear regression to determine the split (minimize some criterion
like sum of rss left and right of the split). The regression (lm) should simply
use the dependent and independent variables passed to rpart.
I am aware of the example provided in the rpart source code, but stumbled on
similar problems that I saw reported on this list (no final solution posted, as
far as I could see). The problem is, broadly speaking, that I do not see a way
to access the full set of x and y variables in the user-written split-function.
I must admit that I am totally new to R-programming (this is, so far, a
one-time excursion into R), so would appreciate concrete advise (actual code
would be much appreciated, but I don't want to ask too much).
Best regards,
