Stratified K-Folds cross-validator
Provides train/test indices to split data in train/test sets.
This cross-validation object is a variation of KFold that returns stratified folds. The folds are made by preserving the percentage of samples for each class.
Read more in the :ref:`User Guide <cross_validation>`.
Parameters ---------- n_splits : int, default=5 Number of folds. Must be at least 2.
.. versionchanged:: 0.22 ``n_splits`` default value changed from 3 to 5.
shuffle : boolean, optional Whether to shuffle each class's samples before splitting into batches.
random_state : int, RandomState instance or None, optional, default=None If int, random_state is the seed used by the random number generator; If RandomState instance, random_state is the random number generator; If None, the random number generator is the RandomState instance used by `np.random`. Only used when ``shuffle`` is True. This should be left to None if ``shuffle`` is False.
Examples -------- >>> import numpy as np >>> from sklearn.model_selection import StratifiedKFold >>> X = np.array([1, 2], [3, 4], [1, 2], [3, 4]
) >>> y = np.array(0, 0, 1, 1
) >>> skf = StratifiedKFold(n_splits=2) >>> skf.get_n_splits(X, y) 2 >>> print(skf) StratifiedKFold(n_splits=2, random_state=None, shuffle=False) >>> for train_index, test_index in skf.split(X, y): ... print("TRAIN:", train_index, "TEST:", test_index) ... X_train, X_test = Xtrain_index
, Xtest_index
... y_train, y_test = ytrain_index
, ytest_index
TRAIN: 1 3
TEST: 0 2
TRAIN: 0 2
TEST: 1 3
Notes ----- The implementation is designed to:
* Generate test sets such that all contain the same distribution of classes, or as close as possible. * Be invariant to class label: relabelling ``y = "Happy", "Sad"
`` to ``y = 1, 0
`` should not change the indices generated. * Preserve order dependencies in the dataset ordering, when ``shuffle=False``: all samples from class k in some test set were contiguous in y, or separated in y by samples from classes other than k. * Generate test sets where the smallest and largest differ by at most one sample.
.. versionchanged:: 0.22 The previous implementation did not follow the last constraint.
