What does 'pct' stand for? I have seen it in a few places, and I would like to know what it stands for

I have noticed variables like ‘pct_start’ and ‘split_by_rand_pct’ in different function calls. But I have never come across this term ‘pct’ before. Can someone tell me what it stands for?

It means percent or percentage

But you need to be careful. “Percent” conventionally means the fraction*100 (zero to 100). Within fastai, it means the actual fraction (zero to one).
