ANYTIME POLYNOMIAL HEURISTIC ALGORITHM FOR PARTITIONING GROUPS OF DATA WITH PRESERVING CLASS PROPORTIONS FOR CROSS-VALIDATION
PublicationThe article describes a problem of splitting data for k-fold cross-validation, where class proportions must be preserved, with additional constraint that data is divided into groups that cannot be split into different cross-validation sets. This problem often occurs in e.g. medical data processing, where data samples from one patient must be included in the same cross-validation set. As this problem is NP-complete, a heuristic...
