SMOGN: a Pre-processing Approach for Imbalanced Regression - LIDTA 2017

This repository has all the code used in the experiments carried out in the paper "SMOGN: a Pre-processing Approach for Imbalanced Regression" [1].

This repository is organized as follows:

  • R_Code folder - contains all the code for reproducing the experiments described in the paper;
  • Figures folder - contains all the figures obtained from the experimental evaluation on 20 real world data sets;
  • Data folder - contains the 20 regression data sets used in the experiments carried out;

Requirements

The experimental design was implemented in R language. Both code and data are in a format suitable for R environment.

In order to replicate these experiments you will need a working installation of R. Check [https://www.r-project.org/] if you need to download and install it.

In your R installation you also need to install the following additional R packages:

  • DMwR
  • performanceEstimation
  • UBL
  • uba
  • e1071
  • randomForest
  • earth
  • nnet

All the above packages, with the exception of uba package, can be installed from CRAN Repository directly as any "normal" R package. Essentially you need to issue the following command within R:

install.packages(c("DMwR", "performanceEstimation", UBL", "e1071", "randomForest", "earth", "nnet"))

Additionally, you will need to install uba package from a tar.gz file that you can download from [http://www.dcc.fc.up.pt/~rpribeiro/uba/].

For installing this package issue the following command within R:

install.packages("uba_0.7.7.tar.gz",repos=NULL,dependencies=T)

To replicate the figure in this repository you will also need to install the package:

  • ggplot2

As with any R package, we only need to issue the following command:

install.packages("ggplot2")

Check the other README files in each folder to see more detailed instructions on how to run the experiments.
