Fixes #9216.

Description

The text below was written with AI assistance (Claude and GPT-6 Astra).

partition_dataset(data, ratios=...) rounded each partition size on its own, so when the rounded sizes added up to less than len(data) the last items (a random case with shuffle=True) ended up in no partition. I keep the existing rounding and only when items are left over give them, one each, to the partitions whose sizes were rounded down the most (ties go to the earlier partition, as in torch.utils.data.random_split). Inputs that already assigned every item get exactly the same partitions as before, a zero ratio still gets no items, and partition_dataset_classes is fixed through the same code. I also noted the behaviour in the ratios docstring.

I found this by reading and testing the code.

Input (shuffle=True, seed=0)	Before	After
list(range(10)), ratios [1, 1, 1] (no shuffle)	[[0, 1, 2], [3, 4, 5], [6, 7, 8]]	[[0, 1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9]]
63 items (MSD Task06_Lung), 0.8/0.1/0.1	50/6/6, item 44 in no split	51/6/6
303 items (Task08_HepaticVessel), 0.8/0.1/0.1	242/30/30, 1 missing	243/30/30
484 items (Task01_BrainTumour), 0.8/0.1/0.1	387/48/48, 1 missing	387/49/48
303 items, 0.7/0.15/0.15	212/45/45, 1 missing	212/46/45
32 items (Task05_Prostate), five equal ratios	6/6/6/6/6, 2 missing	7/7/6/6/6
Lengths 1-1000 losing items: 0.8/0.1/0.1, 0.7/0.15/0.15, 1/1/1, five equal ratios	200, 207, 334, 400	0, 0, 0, 0
63-case Decathlon-format folder: load_decathlon_datalist -> 0.8/0.1/0.1 -> CacheDataset -> DataLoader	62 of 63 cases loaded, lung_044 never used	63 of 63

Over a grid of 4,500 inputs (lengths 1-300, 15 ratio sets including two-way splits and a zero ratio), the 3,754 that already assigned every item give identical partitions after the change, and the 746 that lost items now assign every item exactly once.

The new tests in tests/data/test_partition_dataset.py check the exact partitions for two rounding cases and that every item lands in exactly one split for 63, 303 and 32 shuffled items. All five fail before the change and pass after it. test_partition_dataset.py, test_partition_dataset_classes.py, test_resample_datalist.py, test_select_cross_validation_folds.py and test_create_cross_validation_datalist.py pass (23 tests). Black, isort and Ruff pass on the changed files.

Types of changes

• Non-breaking change (fix or new feature that would not break existing functionality).
• New tests added to cover the changes.
• In-line docstrings updated.

📝 Walkthrough

partition_dataset now rounds normalized ratio-based sizes, then assigns any positive remainder to partitions rounded down the most. The function documentation describes this behavior. Tests cover two expected partition layouts and verify that shuffled partitions contain every input item exactly once.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 5d7f2

The partitioning behavior is addressed, but the added test methods still need the required documentation before merge.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #9216 requires ratio-based partition_dataset to assign every input item to one partition. The supplied change summary reports that the implementation computes rounded sizes, assigns positive remainders to the most rounded-down partitions in stable order, preserves existing complete splits, and keeps zero-ratio partitions empty. The summary also reports shared behavior for partition_dataset_classes, an updated ratios docstring, and tests for the reported rounding cases and shuffled item coverage.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The reported changes are limited to monai/data/utils.py and tests/data/test_partition_dataset.py. The source change fixes the issue behavior and updates its documentation. The tests directly verify the rounding and item-coverage requirements. No unrelated change is shown.
