Specify boosting percentage using Randomoversampling?
Hi all, I apologize - i've been looking for this answer all over the internet, and it could be that I'm not googling the right terms. For managing unbalanced datasets, Weka has SMOTE, and scikit has randomoversampling. In weka, we can ask it to boost by a given percentage (say 100%) so an undersampled class with 10 values ends up with 20 values (100% increase) after boosting. In Scikit learn, I cant seem to find a way to do this. The ramdomoversampler boosts arbitrarily. and seem to try to balance the two classes, which may not be realistic in some cases. Can anyone point me to how I can manage boosting percentage using scikit? -- Best Regards, Suranga
Is maybe this contrib what you are looking for? Take a close look to see whether it does what you expect. http://contrib.scikit-learn.org/imbalanced-learn/auto_examples/over-sampling... On Tue, Jan 10, 2017 at 6:36 PM, Suranga Kasthurirathne < surangakas@gmail.com> wrote:

I will first assume that RandomOverSampling refer to imbalanced-learn API (a scikit-learn-contrib project). The parameter that you are seeking for is the ratio parameter. By default ratio='auto' which will balance the classes, as you described. The ratio can be given as a float as the ratio of the number of samples in the minority class over the number of samples in in the majority class. Check there for more info: http://contrib.scikit-learn.org/imbalanced-learn/generated/imblearn.over_sam... On 10 January 2017 at 18:36, Suranga Kasthurirathne <surangakas@gmail.com> wrote:

Well actually, i'm able to answer this myself. Its the ratio attribute (see: http://contrib.scikit-learn.org/imbalanced-learn/generated/imblearn.over_sam... ) :) :) On Tue, Jan 10, 2017 at 12:36 PM, Suranga Kasthurirathne < surangakas@gmail.com> wrote:
