[R] Classification Analysis

[ozric@web.de]

Rishabh,
yes your "PseudoCode" idea is what i want in R,too.
But even i mentioned , i didn't know of something like that in R/S-plus and i have got open eyes for this.

Perhaps anybody in the whole R community work on machineLearning-algorithm 
with rule generating,too ???

So you must program a function for yourself (i.e. C4.5 or FS-ID3) !?

(If you are interesting for papers (pdf) with algorithm let me know).
regards,Christian
