I used SPSS to generate the CHAID tree. It automatically merges continuous variables and returns the value Chi-squared and Degrees of freedom, which is not found in the R.Below summary function, is a partial output sample.
Node 0 1 Total PC Parent Variable Sig.a Chi-Square df Split Values
N Percent N Percent N Percent
0 148025 84.0% 28111 16.0% 176136 100.0% 0

I found ways to tap the tree output and play with it, as in this example:
regression tree for converting a table to r
Are there functions for getting SPSS output in R or python, or should all this be done manually with the partykit package in R?
