9.13.1. sklearn.cross_validation.LeaveOneOut

class sklearn.cross_validation.LeaveOneOut(n, indices=False)

Leave-One-Out cross validation iterator.

Provides train/test indices to split data in train test sets. Each sample is used once as a test set (singleton) while the remaining samples form the training set.

Due to the high number of test sets (which is the same as the number of samples) this cross validation method can be very costly. For large datasets one should favor KFold, StratifiedKFold or ShuffleSplit.

Parameters :

n: int :

Total number of elements

indices: boolean, optional (default False) :

Return train/test split with integer indices or boolean mask. Integer indices are useful when dealing with sparse matrices that cannot be indexed by boolean masks.

Examples

>>> from sklearn import cross_validation
>>> X = np.array([[1, 2], [3, 4]])
>>> y = np.array([1, 2])
>>> loo = cross_validation.LeaveOneOut(2)
>>> len(loo)
2
>>> print loo
sklearn.cross_validation.LeaveOneOut(n=2)
>>> for train_index, test_index in loo:
...    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]
...    print X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test
TRAIN: [False  True] TEST: [ True False]
[[3 4]] [[1 2]] [2] [1]
TRAIN: [ True False] TEST: [False  True]
[[1 2]] [[3 4]] [1] [2]
