Indices That KFold Split Method Return For A DataFrame Is It Iloc Or Loc?

When we use _KFold.split(X) where X is a DataFrame, the indices that gets generated to split data into training and test set, is it iloc (Purely integer-location based indexing for selection by position) or is it loc (loc of group of rows and columns by label(s))?

You need DataFrame.iloc for select rows by positions:

Sample:

np.random.seed(100)
df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.random((10,5)), columns=list('ABCDE'))
#changed default index values
df.index = df.index * 10
print (df)
