credit scoring is a classification problem leading to introducing numerous techniques to deal with it such as support vector machines, neural networks and rule-based classifiers. rule bases are the top priority in credit decision making because of their ability to explicitly distinguish between good and bad applicants.in a credit- scoring context, imbalanced data sets frequently occur as the nu...

Most traditional supervised classification learning algorithms are ineffective for highly imbalanced time series classification, which has received considerably less attention than imbalanced data problems in data mining and machine learning research. Bagging is one of the most effective ensemble learning methods, yet it has drawbacks on highly imbalanced data. Sampling methods are considered t...

Learning from imbalanced data is an important problem in data mining research. Much research has addressed the problem of imbalanced data by using sampling methods to generate an equally balanced training set to improve the performance of the prediction models, but it is unclear what ratio of class distribution is best for training a prediction model. Bagging is one of the most popular and effe...

The class imbalance problem in classification has been recognized as a significant research problem in recent years and a number of methods have been introduced to improve classification results. Rebalancing class distributions (such as over-sampling or under-sampling of learning datasets) has been popular due to its ease of implementation and relatively good performance. For the Support Vector...
