+ """A Laboratory for Recursive Partytioning
+
+ 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. Based on conditional
+ inference trees, cforest() provides an implementation of Breiman's random
+ forests. The function mob() implements an algorithm for recursive
+ partitioning based on parametric models (e.g. linear models, GLMs or
+ survival regression) employing parameter instability tests for split
+ selection. Extensible functionality for visualizing tree-structured
+ regression models is available. The methods are described in Hothorn et al.
