Abstract

Applying resampling methods is an important approach for working with class imbalance problems. The main reason is that many classifiers are sensitive to class distribution, biasing their prediction towards the majority class. Contrast pattern based classifiers are sensitive to imbalanced databases because these classifiers commonly find several patterns of the majority class and only a few patterns (or none) of the minority class. In this paper, we present a correlation study among resampling methods for contrast pattern based classifiers. Our experiments performed over several imbalanced databases show that there is a high correlation among different resampling methods. Correlation results show that there are nine different groups with very high inner correlation and very low outer correlation. We show that most resampling methods allow improving the accuracy of the contrast pattern based classifiers.
