Questions and Answers

The function func takes a file name, a label column, a test ratio, and a random state as arguments. The line df = pd.read_csv(file_name) reads the CSV file named ______ into a pandas DataFrame.

file_name

The line X = df.drop(____, axis=1) removes a column from the DataFrame df and assigns the result to X. The argument axis=1 specifies that ______ are removed.

columns

The line y = df[____] extracts a specific column from the DataFrame df into a new variable y.

label_column

The line X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=____, random_state=____) splits the data into training and testing sets, and assigns the results to X_train, X_test, y_train, and y_test. The test_size argument specifies the percentage of data allocated for the testing set.

The function func returns the training and testing sets, which are X_train, X_test, y_train, and y_test. The code shows four different ways to specify the arguments needed for the train_test_split function. The first way uses columns=[label_column] to select the ______.

<p>label column</p> Signup and view all the answers

The second way uses df[label_column] and rand_state as arguments. In this case ______ from the DataFrame is used as the label column.

The third option uses df[test_ratio] and rand_state as arguments. This case takes advantage of the ______ stored directly in the DataFrame.

The fourth option uses how='all', axis=1 and df[label_column] as arguments for train_test_split and rand_state as an argument. The how='all', axis=1 argument specifies that all ______ are used to separate the data into training and testing sets.

Study Notes

Function Definition

  • A function func is defined, taking four arguments: file_name, label_column, test_ratio, and rand_state
  • Reads a CSV file into a pandas DataFrame (df) using pd.read_csv(file_name)
  • Selects all columns except the first (X = df.drop([1]))
  • Extracts the second column as y
  • Splits the data into training and testing sets using train_test_split() with specified parameters

Data Splitting

  • Splits the data (X, y) into training and testing sets
  • Uses train_test_split(X, y, test_size= , random_state= )
  • Sets test_size and random_state parameters.

Return Values

  • Returns the training and testing sets for X and y: (X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test)

Steps in function

  • Extracts specified column as a list: columns=[label_column]
  • Extracts specified column from the DataFrame with df [label_column]
  • Uses test_ratio parameter
  • Sets rand_state parameter
  • Extracts specified column and creates a list: columns= [rand_state]
  • Creates column list: columns=[label_column]
  • Extracts column from DataFrame: df[label_column]
  • Uses: how='all', axis=1
  • Specifies rand_state

Data Extraction

  • Extracts the values for x and y for the training and testing sets
  • Uses column indexes or names as parameters in the output of the train_test_split call.
