Neural Networks : Single-hidden-layer neural network are implemented in package
nnet (shipped with base R).
Recursive Partitioning : Tree-structured models for regression, classification and survival analysis, following the ideas in the CART book, are implemented in
rpart (shipped with base R) and
tree. Package
rpart is recommended for computing CART-like trees. A rich toolbox of partitioning algorithms is available in
Weka , package
RWeka provides an interface to this implementation, including the J4.8-variant of C4.5 and M5.
