DataOperationsCatalog.TrainTestSplit Method

Definition

Split the dataset into the train set and test set according to the given fraction. Respects the samplingKeyColumnName if provided.

public Microsoft.ML.DataOperationsCatalog.TrainTestData TrainTestSplit (Microsoft.ML.IDataView data, double testFraction = 0.1, string samplingKeyColumnName = default, int? seed = default);
member this.TrainTestSplit : Microsoft.ML.IDataView * double * string * Nullable<int> -> Microsoft.ML.DataOperationsCatalog.TrainTestData
Public Function TrainTestSplit (data As IDataView, Optional testFraction As Double = 0.1, Optional samplingKeyColumnName As String = Nothing, Optional seed As Nullable(Of Integer) = Nothing) As DataOperationsCatalog.TrainTestData

Parameters

data
IDataView

The dataset to split.

testFraction
Double

The fraction of data to go into the test set.

samplingKeyColumnName
String

Name of a column to use for grouping rows. If two examples share the same value of the samplingKeyColumnName, they are guaranteed to appear in the same subset (train or test). This can be used to ensure no label leakage from the train to the test set. Note that when performing a Ranking Experiment, the samplingKeyColumnName must be the GroupId column. If null no row grouping will be performed.

seed
Nullable<Int32>

Seed for the random number generator used to select rows for the train-test split.
