Hi,

mva should come from the base -at least for Windows, but I think it does come with the base in any platforms.

MASS library is the VR package, which has "Various functions from the libraries of Venables and Ripley, `Modern Applied Statistics with S-PLUS' (3rd edition). " You can get it from CRAN (http://cran.r-project.org/) and compile from source.

Hope this helps,

Kevin

In R 1.3 on linux, I don't have a function tree in MASS or mva. Where do
you get it?
 
I see this:

> ?tree
Error in help(tree) : No documentation for `tree' in specified packages
and libraries:
  you could try `help.search("tree")'
> library(MASS)
> ?tree
Error in help(tree) : No documentation for `tree' in specified packages
and libraries:
  you could try `help.search("tree")'
