data_partition: Partition data

In datawizard: Easy Data Wrangling and Statistical Transformations

Partition data

Description

Creates data partitions (for instance, a training and a test set) based on a data frame that can also be stratified (i.e., evenly spread a given factor) using the group argument.

Usage

data_partition(
  data,
  proportion = 0.7,
  group = NULL,
  seed = NULL,
  row_id = ".row_id",
  verbose = TRUE,
  training_proportion = proportion,
  ...
)

Arguments

data	A data frame, or an object that can be coerced to a data frame.
proportion	Scalar (between 0 and 1) or numeric vector, indicating the proportion(s) of the training set(s). The sum of proportion must not be greater than 1. The remaining part will be used for the test set.
group	A character vector indicating the name(s) of the column(s) used for stratified partitioning.
seed	A random number generator seed. Enter an integer (e.g. 123) so that the random sampling will be the same each time you run the function.
row_id	Character string, indicating the name of the column that contains the row-id's.
verbose	Toggle messages and warnings.
training_proportion	Deprecated, please use proportion.
...	Other arguments passed to or from other functions.

Value

A list of data frames. The list includes one training set per given proportion and the remaining data as test set. List elements of training sets are named after the given proportions (e.g., ⁠$p_0.7⁠), the test set is named ⁠$test⁠.

Examples

data(iris)
out <- data_partition(iris, proportion = 0.9)
out$test
nrow(out$p_0.9)

# Stratify by group (equal proportions of each species)
out <- data_partition(iris, proportion = 0.9, group = "Species")
out$test

# Create multiple partitions
out <- data_partition(iris, proportion = c(0.3, 0.3))
lapply(out, head)

# Create multiple partitions, stratified by group - 30% equally sampled
# from species in first training set, 50% in second training set and
# remaining 20% equally sampled from each species in test set.
out <- data_partition(iris, proportion = c(0.3, 0.5), group = "Species")
lapply(out, function(i) table(i$Species))
