Description: A computational toolbox for recursive partitioning. The
        core of the package is ctree(), an implementation of
        conditional inference trees which embed tree-structured
        regression models into a well defined theory of conditional
        inference procedures. This non-parametric class of regression
        trees is applicable to all kinds of regression problems,
        including nominal, ordinal, numeric, censored as well as
        multivariate response variables and arbitrary measurement
        scales of the covariates. Similar in spirit, the function mob()
        implements an algorithm for recursive partitioning based on
        parametric models (e.g. linear models, GLMs or survival
        regression) based on parameter instability tests. Furthermore,
        cforest() provides an implementation of Breiman's random
        forests based on conditional inference trees. Extensible
        functionality for visualizing tree-structured regression models
        is available.
