public class SMOTE
extends Filter
implements SupervisedFilter, OptionHandler, TechnicalInformationHandler

Resamples a dataset by applying the Synthetic Minority Oversampling TEchnique (SMOTE). The original dataset must fit entirely in memory. The amount of SMOTE and number of nearest neighbors may be specified. For more information, see
