sdf_weighted_sample

Perform Weighted Random Sampling on a Spark DataFrame

Description

Draw a random sample of rows (with or without replacement) from a Spark DataFrame If the sampling is done without replacement, then it will be conceptually equivalent to an iterative process such that in each step the probability of adding a row to the sample set is equal to its weight divided by summation of weights of all rows that are not in the sample set yet in that step.

Usage

sdf_weighted_sample(x, weight_col, k, replacement = TRUE, seed = NULL)

Arguments

Argument Description
x An object coercable to a Spark DataFrame.
weight_col Name of the weight column
k Sample set size
replacement Whether to sample with replacement
seed An (optional) integer seed
