Shuffle

Synopsis​

This operator creates a new, shuffled ExampleSet from the given ExampleSet by making a new copy of the given ExampleSet in the main memory.

Description​

The Shuffle operator creates a new, shuffled ExampleSet by making a new copy of the given ExampleSet in the main memory. Please note that the system may run out of memory, if the ExampleSet is too large. The local random seed parameter can be used for randomizing the shuffling process.

Input​

example set input​

This input port expects an ExampleSet. It is output of the Retrieve operator in the attached Example Process.

Output​

example set output​

The shuffled ExampleSet is output of this port.

original​

The ExampleSet that was given as input is passed without changing to the output through this port. This is usually used to reuse the same ExampleSet in further operators or to view the ExampleSet in the Results Workspace.

Parameters​

Use local random seed​

This parameter indicates if a local random seed should be used for randomization. Using the same value of the local random seed will produce the same randomization.

Local random seed​

This parameter specifies the local random seed. This parameter is only available if the use local random seed parameter is set to true.
