Multivariate regression tree (mvpart)

Dear list members,

I am working with the mvpart package.
The plot for a multivariate tree give 2 numbers associated to each 
terminal node, one is the number of sampling units. Does anybody know 
what the other number mean?
Also, is there any other package that handle multivariate regression trees?
Thank you very much in advance.
Best,

Manuel

Dear Manuel,
This is the deviance of the node.

You can have an access to it by:

object$frame

As far as I know, there is no other multivariate regression tree package 
in R.

All the best
Wilfried

Dear Manuel and Wilfried,
the ctree function in the party package for recursive part(y)itioning
can handle multivariate response. There is also a vignette:
