python - Separate pandas dataframe using sklearn's KFold

Question

I had obtained the index of training set and testing set with code below.

df = pandas.read_pickle(filepath + filename)
kf = KFold(n_splits = n_splits, shuffle = shuffle, random_state = 
randomState)

result = next(kf.split(df), None)

#train can be accessed with result[0]
#test can be accessed with result[1]

I wonder if there is any faster way to separate them into 2 dataframe respectively with the row indexes I retrieved.

Answer 1

You need DataFrame.iloc for select rows by positions:

Sample:

np.random.seed(100)
df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.random((10,5)), columns=list('ABCDE'))
df.index = df.index * 10
print (df)
           A         B         C         D         E
0   0.543405  0.278369  0.424518  0.844776  0.004719
10  0.121569  0.670749  0.825853  0.136707  0.575093
20  0.891322  0.209202  0.185328  0.108377  0.219697
30  0.978624  0.811683  0.171941  0.816225  0.274074

from sklearn.model_selection import KFold

#added some parameters
kf = KFold(n_splits = 5, shuffle = True, random_state = 2)
result = next(kf.split(df), None)
print (result)
(array([0, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]), array([1, 4]))

train = df.iloc[result[0]]
test =  df.iloc[result[1]]

print (train)
