对我来说，更优雅一点的方法是创建一个随机列，然后按它进行分割，这样我们就可以得到一个符合我们需求的随机分割。

def split_df(df, p=[0.8, 0.2]):
import numpy as np
df["rand"]=np.random.choice(len(p), len(df), p=p)
r = [df[df["rand"]==val] for val in df["rand"].unique()]
return r

我会使用numpy的randn:

In [11]: df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(100, 2))

In [12]: msk = np.random.rand(len(df)) < 0.8

In [13]: train = df[msk]

In [14]: test = df[~msk]

为了证明这是有效的:

In [15]: len(test)
Out[15]: 21

In [16]: len(train)
Out[16]: 79

Scikit Learn的train_test_split就是一个很好的例子。它将拆分numpy数组和数据框架。

from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split

train, test = train_test_split(df, test_size=0.2)

如果你想把它分成训练集、测试集和验证集，你可以使用这个函数:

from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
import pandas as pd

def train_test_val_split(df, test_size=0.15, val_size=0.45):
    temp, test = train_test_split(df, test_size=test_size)
    total_items_count = len(df.index)
    val_length = total_items_count * val_size
    new_val_propotion = val_length / len(temp.index) 
    train, val = train_test_split(temp, test_size=new_val_propotion)
    return train, test, val

如果你需要根据你的数据集中的lables列来分割你的数据，你可以使用这个:

def split_to_train_test(df, label_column, train_frac=0.8):
    train_df, test_df = pd.DataFrame(), pd.DataFrame()
    labels = df[label_column].unique()
    for lbl in labels:
        lbl_df = df[df[label_column] == lbl]
        lbl_train_df = lbl_df.sample(frac=train_frac)
        lbl_test_df = lbl_df.drop(lbl_train_df.index)
        print '\n%s:\n---------\ntotal:%d\ntrain_df:%d\ntest_df:%d' % (lbl, len(lbl_df), len(lbl_train_df), len(lbl_test_df))
        train_df = train_df.append(lbl_train_df)
        test_df = test_df.append(lbl_test_df)

    return train_df, test_df

并使用它:

train, test = split_to_train_test(data, 'class', 0.7)

如果你想控制分割随机性或使用一些全局随机种子，你也可以传递random_state。

我会用K-fold交叉验证。 它已被证明比train_test_split提供更好的结果。下面是一篇关于如何在sklearn中应用它的文章，来自文档本身:https://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/generated/sklearn.model_selection.KFold.html
