# Feature Sampling (DP\_FSP)

When you have a dataset with many features, it can be difficult to determine which features are most relevant for making predictions. Feature sampling is a technique that involves randomly selecting a subset of features from the dataset to use in a machine learning model.

To perform feature sampling, you would typically split the dataset into two parts: the X features and the Y features. The X features are the input features, which are used to make predictions, while the Y features are the output features, which are the values that you are trying to predict.

## Sample Request

This request splits the dataset into X and Y values based on the specified boundaries

```javascript
{
    "project_id": 1,
    "parent_id": 7,
    "block_id": 8,
    "function_code": "DP_FSP",
    "args": {
        "x_boundaries": ":, :-1",
        "y_boundaries": ":, -1"
    }   
}
```

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.autogon.ai/autogon-engine-studio/data-processing/feature-sampling-dp_fsp.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
