Hi, mva should come from the base -at least for Windows, but I think it does come with the base in any platforms. MASS library is the VR package, which has "Various functions from the libraries of Venables and Ripley, `Modern Applied Statistics with S-PLUS' (3rd edition). " You can get it from CRAN (http://cran.r-project.org/) and compile from source.

Where do you get it? I see this:
?tree

you could try `help.search("tree")'

Hi David,
I found the mva library to be very useful in this case. Functions like hclust() is pretty useful and you can specify the method you want to use (like kmeans...etc).
Even use tree(), I think it is possible to add text into it. I had a look at the tree() documentation by typing:
?tree
and found an example:
library(MASS)
data(cpus)
cpus.ltr <- tree(log10(perf) ~ syct+mmin+mmax+cach+chmin+chmax, cpus)
cpus.ltr
summary(cpus.ltr)
plot(cpus.ltr); text(cpus.ltr)
The last command text(cpus.ltr) adds in the text.
Hope this helps,
Kevin
