The rsample package provides functions to create different types of resamples and corresponding classes for their analysis. The goal is to have a modular set of methods that can be used for:
The scope of rsample is to provide the basic building blocks for creating and analyzing resamples of a data set, but this package does not include code for modeling or calculating statistics. The Working with Resample Sets vignette gives a demonstration of how rsample tools can be used when building models.
Note that resampled data sets created by rsample are directly accessible in a resampling object but do not contain much overhead in memory. Since the original data is not modified, R does not make an automatic copy.
For example, creating 50 bootstraps of a data set does not create an object that is 50-fold larger in memory:
library(rsample)
library(mlbench)
data(LetterRecognition)
lobstr::obj_size(LetterRecognition)
#> 2,644,640 B
set.seed(35222)
boots <- bootstraps(LetterRecognition, times = 50)
lobstr::obj_size(boots)
#> 6,686,776 B
# Object size per resample
lobstr::obj_size(boots)/nrow(boots)
#> 133,735.5 B
# Fold increase is <<< 50
as.numeric(lobstr::obj_size(boots)/lobstr::obj_size(LetterRecognition))
#> [1] 2.528426Created on 2022-02-28 by the reprex package (v2.0.1)
The memory usage for 50 bootstrap samples is less than 3-fold more than the original data set.
