From: Laure Maton Hello, I would like to know if the classification trees i built with my data are predictive or not. Could you explain me how to do that? Thanks Laure Maton
If you are talking about the particular tree models that you built from the data, you will need independent test set to evaluate prediction performance. If you want to know if the _algorithm_ can produce models that are predictive, you can use something like cross validation. See the errorest() function in the `ipred' package, for example. Andy
