Problem 33: Generate Random Subsets of a Dataset (some confusions) #498
Description
Issue:
The problem description for get_random_subsets does not clearly specify the expected subset size for each case of the replacements flag.
Current Confusion:
When replacements=True, the expected subset size is equal to the dataset size.
When replacements=False, the subset size is expected to be 50% of the dataset (i.e., len(X) // 2).
This isn't clearly stated, which may lead to incorrect implementations or wasted debugging time.
Suggested Fix:
Add a note in the problem description like:
"Each subset should contain:
-
the full dataset size if replacements=True
-
50% of the dataset if replacements=False"
Why:
Clarifying this removes ambiguity and improves the learning experience.
