In RandBal, each base classifier is trained with a sample of the data with a random class prevalence, independent of the a priori distribution. Hence, for each sample, one of the classes will be undersampled while the other will be oversampled. RandBal can be applied on its own or can be combined with any other ensemble method. One particularly successful variant is RandBalBoost which integrates Random Balance and boosting. Encouraged by the success of RandBal, this work proposes two approaches which extend RandBal to multiclass imbalance problems. Multiclass imbalance implies that at least two classes have substantially different proportion of instances. In the first approach proposed here, termed Multiple Random Balance (MultiRandBal), we deal with all classes simultaneously. The training data for each base classifier are sampled with random class proportions. The second approach we propose decomposes the multiclass problem into two-class problems using one-vs-one or one-vs-all, and builds an ensemble of RandBal ensembles. We call the two versions of the second approach OVO-RandBal and OVA-RandBal, respectively. These two approaches were chosen because they are the most straightforward extensions of RandBal for multiple classes. Our main objective is to evaluate both approaches for multiclass imbalanced problems. To this end, an experiment was carried out with 52 multiclass data sets. The results suggest that both MultiRandBal, and OVO/OVA-RandBal are viable extensions of the original two-class RandBal. Collectively, they consistently outperform acclaimed state-of-the art methods for multiclass imbalanced problems. eng Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacional Classifier ensembles Imbalanced data Multiclass classification Random Balance ensembles for multiclass imbalance learning info:eu-repo/semantics/article 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 URL https://riubu.ubu.es/bitstream/10259/5543/1/rodriguez-kbs_2020.pdf File MD5 f6285b20ded0678fcf1df3022242b240 3124687 application/pdf rodriguez-kbs_2020.pdf URL https://riubu.ubu.es/bitstream/10259/5543/5/rodriguez-kbs_2020.pdf.txt File MD5 9f6d11885004a03646e1d74b3218aadf 159019 text/plain rodriguez-kbs_2020.pdf.txt
