Strategies for Addressing Class Imbalance

Machine Learning Modeling Python Machine Learningposted by Nathaniel Jermain June 6, 2019

Class imbalance is common in real-world datasets. For example, a dataset with examples of credit card fraud will often have exponentially more records of non-fraudulent activity than those of fraudulent cases. In many applications, training your model on imbalanced classes can inhibit model functionality if predictive... Read more
