Fetches the labeled data from the data source.

[`func stratifiedSplit(proportions: [Double], seed: Int, labelColumn: String, textColumn: String) throws -> MLDataTable`](/documentation/CreateML/MLTextClassifier/DataSource/stratifiedSplit(proportions:seed:labelColumn:textColumn:))

Generates a data table by splitting the data source into strata.
