I am trying to create a classification tree using either tree or rpart
functions but when it comes to plotting the results the formatting I get is
different than what I see in all the tutorials (like
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XNhqO1bu0A or
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3mLNpeke0I&feature=related or
http://www.statmethods.net/advstats/cart.html "tree for kyphosis").  I am
trying to take a large demographic population and create a tree which
systematically and accurately divides them into 2 pre-defined
classifications using multiple predictor variables.  What I would like to
see is what I have seen in the tutorials similar to to the ones provided
above, where it shows something like "12/2" in each leaf or stem or step of
the tree which is meant to be interpreded as "at this step/stage there are
12 people of this category and 2 of the other.  Instead I am presently
getting something like .342524 which I guess could be the result of
divideing the two groups inorder to find some porportion but im not sure,
and would that be 34% group a or group b?  I was also wondering how you know
which side is the side of each test where the individual passes or fails?
Is yes/pass always on the left?

I'm pretty sure this is just a mater of changing some sort of default
settings and is in no way a critique of the fine work the designers of R
have freely provided us.


Thank you
