python randomly shuffle rows of pandas dataframe
# Basic syntax: df = df.sample(frac=1, random_state=1).reset_index(drop=True) # Where: # - frac=1 specifies returning 100% of the original rows of the # dataframe (in random order). Change to a decimal (e.g. 0.5) if # you want to sample say, 50% of the original rows # - random_state=1 sets the seed for the random number generator and # is useful to specify if you want results to be reproducible # - .reset_index(drop=True) specifies resetting the row index of the # shuffled dataframe
