Train Test Split is technically not an example of cross-validation. It is basically a technique to randomly split data into training and test sets since training and testing a model on the same data will lead to overfitting.

# import modules
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
from sklearn.linear_model import LogisticRegression
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split

# read data file from github
# dataframe: pimaDf
gitFileURL = 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/andrewgurung/data-repository/master/pima-indians-diabetes.data.csv'
cols = ['preg', 'plas', 'pres', 'skin', 'test', 'mass', 'pedi', 'age', 'class']
pimaDf = pd.read_csv(gitFileURL, names = cols)

# convert into numpy array for scikit-learn
pimaArr = pimaDf.values

# Let's split columns into the usual feature columns(X) and target column(Y)
# Y represents the target 'class' column whose value is either '0' or '1'
X = pimaArr[:, 0:8]
Y = pimaArr[:, 8]

# set test size to 33%
test_size = 0.33

# set seed to reproduce the same random data each time
seed = 7

# split data using train_test_split() helper method
X_train, X_test, Y_train, Y_test = train_test_split(X, Y, test_size=test_size, random_state=seed)

# instantiate a classification model
model = LogisticRegression()

# call fit() to train model using X_train and Y_train
model.fit(X_train, Y_train)

# evaluate model on unseen data X_test and Y_test
result = model.score(X_test, Y_test)

# display accuracy
print("Accuracy of LogisticRegression with train-test-split(0.33): %.3f" % (result*100.0))

Accuracy of LogisticRegression with train-test-split(0.33): 75.591
