[R-pkgs] New package `party': A Laboratory for Recursive Part(y)itioning

[Torsten Hothorn]

Dear useRs,

a new package for tree-structured regression is available on CRAN.

This package implements a unified framework for recursive partitioning
which embeds tree-structured regression models into a well defined
theory of conditional inference procedures. Stopping criteria based on
multiple test procedures are implemented. The methodology is applicable
to all kinds of regression problems, including nominal, ordinal, numeric,
censored as well as multivariate response variables and arbitrary
measurement scales of the covariates. Extensible functionality for
visualizing tree-structured regression models is available.

Best,

Torsten
