Hello, My question is about the algorithm used behind decision tree package rpart. It is not clear in the help if the algorithm used is ID3 or C4.5. Someone has any idea?
1. Not really an R-devel question.
2. As ?rpart tells you it is neither an implementation of ID3 nor C4.5,
but of Breiman et al's Classification And Regression Trees (CART).
3. For the availability of various tree-based learners, see
