Data sampling

Simple data sampling example

from evopreprocess.data_sampling import EvoSampling

# Load classification data
dataset = load_breast_cancer()

# Print the size of dataset
print(dataset.data.shape, len(dataset.target))

# Sample instances of dataset with default settings with EvoSampling
X_resampled, y_resampled = EvoSampling().fit_resample(dataset.data, dataset.target)

# Print the size of dataset after sampling
print(X_resampled.shape, len(y_resampled))
