Resampling methods

Description

Create resamples of your data, e.g. for model building or validation. "bootstrap" gives the standard bootstrap, i.e. random sampling with replacement, using bootstrap, "strat.sub" creates stratified subsamples using strat.sub, while "strat.boot" uses strat.boot which runs strat.sub and then randomly duplicates some of the training cases to reach original length of input (default) or length defined by target.length.

Usage

resample(
  y,
  n.resamples = 10,
  resampler = c("strat.sub", "strat.boot", "kfold", "bootstrap", "loocv"),
  index = NULL,
  group = NULL,
  stratify.var = y,
  train.p = 0.75,
  strat.n.bins = 4,
  target.length = NROW(y),
  id.strat = NULL,
  rtset = NULL,
  seed = NULL,
  verbosity = TRUE
)

Arguments

y	Vector or data.frame: Usually the outcome; NROW(y) defines sample size
n.resamples	Integer: Number of training/testing sets required
resampler	Character: Type of resampling to perform: "bootstrap", "kfold", "strat.boot", "strat.sub".
index	List where each element is a vector of training set indices. Use this for manual/pre-defined train/test splits
group	Integer, vector, length = length(y): Integer vector, where numbers define fold membership. e.g. for 10-fold on a dataset with 1000 cases, you could use group = rep(1:10, each = 100)
stratify.var	Numeric vector (optional): Variable used for stratification.
train.p	Float (0, 1): Fraction of cases to assign to traininig set for resampler = "strat.sub"
strat.n.bins	Integer: Number of groups to use for stratification for resampler = "strat.sub" / "strat.boot"
target.length	Integer: Number of cases for training set for resampler = "strat.boot".
id.strat	Vector of IDs which may be replicated: resampling should force replicates of each ID to only appear in the training or testing.
rtset	List: Output of an setup.resample (or named list with same structure). NOTE: Overrides all other arguments. Default = NULL
seed	Integer: (Optional) Set seed for random number generator, in order to make output reproducible. See ?base::set.seed
verbosity	Logical: If TRUE, print messages to console

Details

resample is used by multiple rtemis learners, gridSearchLearn, and train_cv. Note that option 'kfold', which uses kfold results in resamples of slightly different length for y of small length, so avoid all operations which rely on equal-length vectors. For example, you can't place resamples in a data.frame, but must use a list instead.

Examples

y <- rnorm(200)
# 10-fold (stratified)
res <- resample(y, 10, "kfold")
# 25 stratified subsamples
res <- resample(y, 25, "strat.sub")
# 100 stratified bootstraps
res <- resample(y, 100, "strat.boot")
