Repeated K-Fold cross validator.
Repeats K-Fold n times with different randomization in each repetition.
Read more in the User Guide.
Number of folds. Must be at least 2.
Number of times cross-validator needs to be repeated.
Controls the randomness of each repeated cross-validation instance. Pass an int for reproducible output across multiple function calls. See Glossary.

Randomized CV splitters may return different results for each call of split. You can make the results identical by setting random_state to an integer.

Returns the number of splitting iterations in the cross-validator.
Always ignored, exists for compatibility. np.zeros(n_samples) may be used as a placeholder.
