Randomisations - add subsampling option #222

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

A useful randomisation, which is essentially a cross-validation approach, is to 
randomly delete some subset of labels from the cloned basedata, and then assess 
how stable the analysis results are.

This could be done ~~using a multinomial sampler approach, probably called~~ in _get_randomised_basedata to generate a new basedata to pass on to the randomisation function. That way we can subsample and then apply shuffling if needed.

An optimisation for rand_nochange is to check if we are using the subsampled copy and return it instead of cloning another copy.
