cross_validation.KFold()

K-Folds cross validation iterator.

Provides train/test indices to split data in train test sets. Split dataset into k consecutive folds (without shuffling by default).

Each fold is then used as a validation set once while the k - 1 remaining fold(s) form the training set.

Notes

The first n % n_folds folds have size n // n_folds + 1, other folds have size n // n_folds.

Examples

>>> from sklearn.cross_validation import KFold
>>> X = np.array([[1, 2], [3, 4], [1, 2], [3, 4]])
>>> y = np.array([1, 2, 3, 4])
>>> kf = KFold(4, n_folds=2)
>>> len(kf)
2
>>> print(kf)  
sklearn.cross_validation.KFold(n=4, n_folds=2, shuffle=False,
                               random_state=None)
>>> for train_index, test_index in kf:
...    print("TRAIN:", train_index, "TEST:", test_index)
...    X_train, X_test = X[train_index], X[test_index]
...    y_train, y_test = y[train_index], y[test_index]
TRAIN: [2 3] TEST: [0 1]
TRAIN: [0 1] TEST: [2 3]
