The cutpoint is on the predictor, so the interpretation is the same as it is for any other
rpart model. The subjects with predictor < cutpoint form one group and those > cutpoint
the other. The cutpoint is chosen to give the greatest difference in "average y" between
the groups. For poisson "averge y" is an event rate.

I am trying to derive cutpoint/threshold with a poisson distributed
dependent variable. I know how to interpret cutpoint with binary dependent
variable based on direction. Can some on help me to intrepret cutpoint for
poisson case with one independent variable with the derived threshold.
