## Overview

{splitTools} is a toolkit for fast data splitting. It does not have any dependencies.

Its two main functions `partition()` and `create_folds()` support

- data partitioning (e.g. into training, validation and test),
- creating (in- or out-of-sample) folds for cross-validation (CV),
- creating *repeated* folds for CV,
- stratified splitting,
- grouped splitting as well as
- blocked splitting (if the sequential order of the data should be retained).

The function `create_timefolds()` does time-series splitting where the out-of-sample data follows the (extending or moving) in-sample data.

The result of `create_folds()` can be directly passed to the `folds` argument in CV functions of XGBoost or LightGBM. Since these functions expect *out-of-sample* indices, set the option `invert = TRUE`.

## Installation

```r
# From CRAN
install.packages("splitTools")

# Development version
devtools::install_github("mayer79/splitTools")
```

## Usage

``` r
library(splitTools)

p <- c(train = 0.5, valid = 0.25, test = 0.25)

# Train/valid/test indices for iris data stratified by Species
str(inds <- partition(iris$Species, p, seed = 1))

# List of 3
# $ train: int [1:73] 1 3 5 7 8 10 12 13 14 15 ...
# $ valid: int [1:38] 4 9 19 21 27 28 29 30 32 35 ...
# $ test : int [1:39] 2 6 11 16 18 22 26 37 38 40 ...

# Same, but different output interface
head(inds <- partition(iris$Species, p, split_into_list = FALSE, seed = 1))

# [1] train test train valid train test
# Levels: train valid test

# In-sample indices for 5-fold CV (stratified by Species)
str(inds <- create_folds(iris$Species, k = 5, seed = 1))

# List of 5
# $ Fold1: int [1:120] 2 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 15 ...
# $ Fold2: int [1:120] 1 2 3 4 5 6 9 10 11 12 ...
# $ Fold3: int [1:120] 1 2 3 4 6 7 8 9 11 12 ...
# $ Fold4: int [1:120] 1 3 5 6 7 8 10 11 12 13 ...
# $ Fold5: int [1:120] 1 2 3 4 5 7 8 9 10 12 ...

# In-sample indices for 3 times repeated 5-fold CV (stratified by Species)
str(inds <- create_folds(iris$Species, k = 5, m_rep = 3, seed = 1))

# List of 15
# $ Fold1.Rep1: int [1:120] 2 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 15 ...
# $ Fold2.Rep1: int [1:120] 1 2 3 4 5 6 9 10 11 12 ...
