[R] Changing the labels on a regression tree (repeat post - with added clarity)

[Peter Flom]

Hello

I posted a very similar question last week, but the responses I
received indicated that my post was unclear....

I have a regression tree created in rpart with

tr.logypsx <- rpart(log(YPSX + 1)
~AGE+drugfact+sexfact+as.numeric(OBSX) +WINDLE + EABUSED     + PABAU +
positive.par + control.par + lenient.par,   xval = 10, method = 'anova',
cp = 0.0001, data = duhray2)

and then 

tr.logypsx.pruned <- prune(tr.logypsx, cp = .012)

The labels at the nodes are, naturally enough, the dependent variable
[log(YPSX + 1)].  This DV is better than YPSX because YPSX is extremely
skew.  However, the intuitively meaningful variable is YPSX.  Is there a
way to change the labels to reflect this?

Thanks in advance, and sorry for the repeat

Peter
