Machine learning, ensemble methods, regression trees

Does Matlab have a function that allows for supervised learning on input data consisting of characters or labels and numeric/continuous output data? I am thinking about regression trees or ensemble methods.

There are also several FEX submissions that offer these functionalities, or examples and tutorials on how to use MATLAB's machine learning tools.

Thanks Stephen, But looking at the functions you suggest it looks to me as though they all require a numeric input and a categorical or numeric output. However my data have categorical input and numeric output.
