| sample.split {caTools} | R Documentation |
Split data from vector Y into two sets in predefined ratio while preserving relative ratios of different labels in Y. Used to split the data used during classification into train and test subsets.
sample.split( Y, SplitRatio = 2/3, group = NULL )
Y |
Vector of data labels. If there are only a few labels (as is expected) than relative ratio of data in both subsets will be the same. |
SplitRatio |
Splitting ratio:
|
group |
Optional vector/list used when multiple copies of each sample
are present. In such a case group contains unique sample labels,
marking all copies of the same sample with the same
label, and the function tries to place all copies in either train or test
subset. If provided than has to have the same length as Y. |
Function msc.sample.split is the old name of the
sample.split function. To be retired soon.
Returns logical vector of the same length as Y with random
SplitRatio*length(Y) elements set to TRUE.

sample function.
group is used in the same way as f argument in
split and INDEX argument in tapply
