mvpa2.generators.partition.NGroupPartitioner

Inheritance diagram of NGroupPartitioner

class mvpa2.generators.partition.NGroupPartitioner(ngroups=4, **kwargs)

Partition a dataset into N-groups of the sample attribute.

For example, NGroupPartitioner(2) is the same as the HalfPartitioner and yields exactly the same partitions and labeling patterns.

Notes

Available conditional attributes:

  • calling_time+: Time (in seconds) it took to call the node
  • raw_results: Computed results before invoking postproc. Stored only if postproc is not None.

(Conditional attributes enabled by default suffixed with +)

Parameters :

ngroups : int

Number of groups to split the attribute into.

enable_ca : None or list of str

Names of the conditional attributes which should be enabled in addition to the default ones

disable_ca : None or list of str

Names of the conditional attributes which should be disabled

count : None or int

Desired number of splits to be output. It is limited by the number of splits possible for a given splitter (e.g. OddEvenSplitter can have only up to 2 splits). If None, all splits are output (default).

selection_strategy : str

If count is not None, possible strategies are possible: ‘first’: First count splits are chosen; ‘random’: Random (without replacement) count splits are chosen; ‘equidistant’: Splits which are equidistant from each other.

attr : str

Sample attribute used to determine splits.

space : str

Name of the to be created sample attribute defining the partitions. In addition, a dataset attribute named ‘space_set’ will be added to each output dataset, indicating the number of the partition set it corresponds to.

postproc : Node instance, optional

Node to perform post-processing of results. This node is applied in __call__() to perform a final processing step on the to be result dataset. If None, nothing is done.

descr : str

Description of the instance
