I want to fit an rpart model (regression tree). I transformed those variables to factors already and it worked. The problem is that when I plot the tree the categorical variables came like Emissor=acde, that I suppose it is a code for the numbers 1,3,4,5. I think I can force R to plot Emissor=1345 or something like that
?text.rpart says
pretty: an integer denoting the extent to which factor levels in
split labels will be abbreviated. A value of (0) signifies
no abbreviation. A `NULL', the default, signifies using
elements of letters to represent the different factor levels.
so the answer is right there on the help page.
