DEALING WITH IMBALANCED PROBLEMS - Issues and Best Practices

Rodica Potolea, Camelia Lemnaru

2010

Abstract

An imbalanced problem is one in which, in the available data, one class is represented by a smaller number of instances compared to the other classes. The drawbacks induced by the imbalance are analyzed and possible solutions for overcoming these issues are presented. In dealing with imbalanced problems, one should consider a wider context, taking into account the imbalance rate, together with other data-related particularities and the classification algorithms with their associated parameters.
