In aggloeckner/GerNameR: Collection of German names and validated associations

Description Usage Arguments Value Examples

Creates a random split of a subset or all naes. Names can be split into subsets of different size based on the proportion of the names in each subset after the split.

1	partition.names.random(subset = filter.names(), prop = c(0.5, 0.5))

`subset`	An optional subset on which the split should be done. If this is left out, the split will be created on all names.
`prop`	Proportion of the names in each subset (defaults to two groups of equal size). Proportions are given as a vector with the proportion in each group. Proportions are automatically normalized.

An S3 object of class "names.split". The individual groups can be retrieved using the operator [].

# Two random groups of equal sizes from all names
s <- partition.names.random()

# Three groups of different proportions (first group twice as large)
s <- partition.names.random( prop = c(2,1,1) )

# First filter on Competence, then split randomly
n <- filter.names(Competence >= 0.5)
s <- partition.names.random(subset=n)
