How to split data into training/testing sets using sample function

Question

I\'ve just started using R and I\'m not sure how to incorporate my dataset with the following sample code:

sample(x, size, replace = FALSE, prob = NULL)


        

Answer 1

I bumped into this one, it can help too.

set.seed(12)
data = Sonar[sample(nrow(Sonar)),]#reshufles the data
bound = floor(0.7 * nrow(data))
df_train = data[1:bound,]
df_test = data[(bound+1):nrow(data),]

Answer 2

We can divide data into a particular ratio here it is 80% train and 20% in a test dataset.

ind <- sample(2, nrow(dataName), replace = T, prob = c(0.8,0.2))
train <- dataName[ind==1, ]
test <- dataName[ind==2, ]

Answer 3

It can be easily done by:

set.seed(101) # Set Seed so that same sample can be reproduced in future also
# Now Selecting 75% of data as sample from total 'n' rows of the data  
sample <- sample.int(n = nrow(data), size = floor(.75*nrow(data)), replace = F)
train <- data[sample, ]
test  <- data[-sample, ]

By using caTools package:

require(caTools)
set.seed(101) 
sample = sample.split(data$anycolumn, SplitRatio = .75)
train = subset(data, sample == TRUE)
test  = subset(data, sample == FALSE)

Answer 4

Assuming df is your data frame, and that you want to create 75% train and 25% test

all <- 1:nrow(df)
train_i <- sort(sample(all, round(nrow(df)*0.75,digits = 0),replace=FALSE))
test_i <- all[-train_i]

Then to create a train and test data frames

df_train <- df[train_i,]
df_test <- df[test_i,]

Answer 5

set.seed(123)
llwork<-sample(1:length(mydata),round(0.75*length(mydata),digits=0)) 
wmydata<-mydata[llwork, ]
tmydata<-mydata[-llwork, ]

Answer 6

There are numerous approaches to achieve data partitioning. For a more complete approach take a look at the createDataPartition function in the caTools package.

Here is a simple example:

data(mtcars)

## 75% of the sample size
smp_size <- floor(0.75 * nrow(mtcars))

## set the seed to make your partition reproducible
set.seed(123)
train_ind <- sample(seq_len(nrow(mtcars)), size = smp_size)

train <- mtcars[train_ind, ]
test <- mtcars[-train_ind, ]
