CreateStratifiedPartition: Create a stratified sampling-based S3 object of class partition for the SetTarget function
Description
Stratified partitioning is supported for binary classification problems and
it randomly partitions the modeling data, keeping the percentage of positive
class observations in each partition the same as in the original dataset.
Stratified partitioning is supported for either Training/Validation/Holdout
('TVH') or cross-validation ('CV') splits. In either case, the holdout
percentage (holdoutPct) must be specified; for the 'CV' method, the number
of cross-validation folds (reps) must also be specified, while for the 'TVH'
method, the validation subset percentage (validationPct) must be specified.
Character string specifying the type of partition
generated, either 'TVH' or 'CV'.
holdoutPct
Integer, giving the percentage of data to be used
as the holdout subset.
reps
Integer, specifying the number of cross-validation folds to
generate; only applicable when validationType = 'CV'.
validationPct
Integer, giving the percentage of data to be used
as the validation subset.
Value
An S3 object of class 'partition' including the parameters required
by the SetTarget function to generate a stratified partitioning of the
modeling dataset.
Details
This function is one of several convenience functions provided to simplify the
task of starting modeling projects with custom partitioning options. The
other functions are CreateGroupPartition,
CreateRandomPartition, and CreateUserPartition.
