RWO {SMOTEWB}

Random Walk Oversampling (SMOTE)

Description

Resampling with RWO

Usage

RWO(x, y)

Arguments

x

feature matrix.

y

a factor class variable with two classes.

Details

RWO (Zhang and Li, 2014) is an oversampling method which generates data using variable standard error in a way that it preserves the variances of all variables.

Can work with classes more than 2.

Value

a list with resampled dataset.

x_new

Resampled feature matrix.

y_new

Resampled target variable.

x_syn

Generated synthetic feature data.

y_syn

Generated synthetic label data.

Examples

set.seed(1)
x <- rbind(matrix(rnorm(2000, 3, 1), ncol = 2, nrow = 1000),
           matrix(rnorm(100, 5, 1), ncol = 2, nrow = 50))
y <- as.factor(c(rep("negative", 1000), rep("positive", 50)))

plot(x, col = y)

# resampling
m <- RWO(x = x, y = y)

plot(m$x_new, col = m$y_new)
