Hi André

There is no predict() method, as such, but read ?pdbart very carefully, and
work through the examples.  The fitted/predicted values from a fit are in

bartobject$yhat.train.mean

It would be a good idea to read the two PDFs that the authors provide at

http://faculty.chicagogsb.edu/robert.mcculloch/research/rob-mcculloch-cv.html

I've had excellent results from BayesTree, with fits that rival those of
Friedman's RuleFit, though the whole process takes a great deal longer.

HTH,
Mark.
