        Synopsis
A collection is a list of items. This operator allows you to take a collection and sample it to a given sample size.Description
The operator provides 3 different sampling methods (see parameter description) to perform the sampling. The parameter sample_size describes the number of items in the sampled output collection.Input
exa (Collection)The collection which should be sampled.
Output
col (Collection)The sampled collection.
org (Collection)The original collection.
Parameters
- sampling method
				The method to use for sampling.
				
- linear sampling: Take the first n objects of the collection.
 - shuffled sampling: Take n unique, but random objects of the collection.
 - bootstrap sampling: Take n random objects of the collection. Objects are allowed to be taken several times.
 
 - sample size The number of objects to be drawn.
 - use local random seed This parameter indicates if a local random seed should be used.
 - local random seed If the use local random seed parameter is checked this parameter determines the local random seed.
 
Tutorial Processes
Grouping an ExampleSet into a collection
In this process we group the Titanic data set into bins of passenger fare. Then we select 2 random price ranges.
