Gives a visual representation of the cross-validation results in an
rpart
object.

None.
an object of class "rpart"
whether a horizontal line is drawn 1SE above the minimum of the curve.

what is plotted on the top axis: the size of the tree (the number of leaves), the number of splits or nothing.
additional plotting parameters
A plot is produced on the current graphical device.
The set of possible cost-complexity prunings of a tree from a nested
set. For the geometric means of the intervals of values of cp
for which
a pruning is optimal, a cross-validation has (usually) been done in
the initial construction by rpart
. The cptable
in the fit contains
the mean and standard deviation of the errors in the cross-validated
prediction against each of the geometric means, and these are plotted
by this function. A good choice of cp
for pruning is often the
leftmost value for which the mean lies below the horizontal line.
