How to use scikit learn train test split












0












$begingroup$


Is there a command within scikit-learn that allows for splitting based on participant? I have 50 participants x 90 trials each, but we want to test on unseen data as a way of assessing overfit.

    @Ethan As in, I would like to split based on participant IDs and then classify exercises. For example, if I wanted to do a 50/50 train/test split, then I would have 25 participants data in the training, then test on the other 25 participants data.

To split data into Training and Test sets in scikit-learn you can use the train_test_split function.



To implement this:



from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split

sklearn.model_selection.train_test_split()


Then pass through the arguments that you would like to set as parameters. Some parameters of note you may like to tune are the sizes of the training and test sets as well as setting if the splits are shuffled or not.



You can read about this further on its scikit-learn documentation page here.

    Yes, I am using that function. I don't think stratify is the correct parameter since all that is doing it looking to make sure proportions stay the same. I just want to split participant data as being used for training only or testing only.

    train_test_split will by default, do a 75% training 25% testing split. Is this what you want to change? I am not sure I understand your question.

    No, I want to split based on participants. Currently it randomly splits so all 50 participants are very likely going to be included in the training and testing portions.

  • $begingroup$
    I want to do a 50% train split with the additional parameter that participants are mutually excluded to either the train or test split. So there are 25 participants worth of data on the train side and 25 participants worth of data on the test side. Basically, is there an easy way to randomize 50 participants into two groups? It seems like the answer is no and requires a custom script.
