NAME

       mlpack_preprocess_split - split data

SYNOPSIS

        mlpack_preprocess_split -i string [-I string] [-s int] [-r double] [-V bool] [-T string] [-L string] [-t string] [-l string] [-h -v]

DESCRIPTION

       This utility takes a dataset and optionally labels and splits them into a training set and
       a test set. Before the split, the points  in  the  dataset  are  randomly  reordered.  The
       percentage  of  the  dataset  to  be  used  as  the  test  set  can  be specified with the
       '--test_ratio (-r)' parameter; the default is 0.2 (20%).

       The output training and test matrices may be saved with  the  '--training_file  (-t)'  and
       '--test_file (-T)' output parameters.

       Optionally,  labels  can  be  also  be  split  along  with  the  data  by  specifying  the
       ’--input_labels_file (-I)' parameter. Splitting labels works the same way as splitting the
       data.  The  output  training and test labels may be saved with the ’--training_labels_file
       (-l)' and '--test_labels_file (-L)' output parameters, respectively.

       So, a simple example where we want to split the dataset  'X.csv'  into  ’X_train.csv'  and
       'X_test.csv'  with  60% of the data in the training set and 40% of the dataset in the test
       set, we could run

       $  mlpack_preprocess_split  --input_file  X.csv  --training_file  X_train.csv  --test_file
       X_test.csv --test_ratio 0.4

       If  we  had  a dataset 'X.csv' and associated labels 'y.csv', and we wanted to split these
       into 'X_train.csv', 'y_train.csv', 'X_test.csv', and 'y_test.csv', with 30% of the data in
       the test set, we could run

       $  mlpack_preprocess_split  --input_file  X.csv --input_labels_file y.csv --test_ratio 0.3
       --training_file  X_train.csv  --training_labels_file  y_train.csv  --test_file  X_test.csv
       --test_labels_file y_test.csv
