Scikit-learn balanced subsampling

Question

I\'m trying to create N balanced random subsamples of my large unbalanced dataset. Is there a way to do this simply with scikit-learn / pandas or do I have to implement it m

Answer 1

A version for pandas Series:

import numpy as np

def balanced_subsample(y, size=None):

    subsample = []

    if size is None:
        n_smp = y.value_counts().min()
    else:
        n_smp = int(size / len(y.value_counts().index))

    for label in y.value_counts().index:
        samples = y[y == label].index.values
        index_range = range(samples.shape[0])
        indexes = np.random.choice(index_range, size=n_smp, replace=False)
        subsample += samples[indexes].tolist()

    return subsample
