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 by argument.
Usage
data_partition(
data,
proportion = 0.7,
by = NULL,
seed = NULL,
row_id = ".row_id",
verbose = TRUE,
group = NULL,
...
)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
proportionmust not be greater than 1. The remaining part will be used for the test set.- by
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.
- group
Deprecated. Use
byinstead.- ...
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.
