selex.split {SELEX} | R Documentation

## Randomly split a dataset

### Description

A function used to randomly split and store a dataset into smaller fractions as defined by `ratios`. This is useful in generating cross-validation datasets for Markov Model testing when none are available.

### Usage

    selex.split(sample, ratios=NA)

### Arguments

`sample` | A sample handle to the dataset to be split.
`ratios` | The fractions with with new datasets should be generated. If `NA`, ratios is set to `c(.5,.5)` and `sample` is evenly split into two datasets.

### Details

`selex.split` saves the newly generated datasets in the current working directory and makes them visible to the current SELEX session. Naming convention of new samples: New sequence name = <seqName>.split.x ; New sample name = <sampleName>.split.x .

### Value

### Examples

    # Split the r0 sample into testing and training datasets
    r0.split = selex.split(sample=r0)

    # show information about subsamples
    names(r0.split)
    r0.split$info
    selex.getAttributes(r0.split$train)
