title: 'imbalanceKit: Resampling Methods and Tools for Imbalanced Classification'
version: 0.1.0
abstract: 'A collection of resampling methods for class imbalance in classification
  problems. Includes the oversampling methods SMOTE with boosting (SMOTEWB) by F.
  Sağlam and M. A. Cengiz (2022) <https://doi.org/10.1016/j.eswa.2022.117023>, Markov
  chain SMOTE (MCSMOTE) by F. Sağlam and M. A. Cengiz (2025) <https://doi.org/10.1016/j.asoc.2025.113906>,
  uncertainty guided oversampling (UGO) by F. Sağlam and M. A. Cengiz (2026) <https://doi.org/10.1016/j.knosys.2026.115886>,
  and bi-directional SMOTE (BiSMOTE) by F. Sağlam and U. Yamak (2027) <https://doi.org/10.1016/j.eswa.2026.134648>,
  and the data relocation approach DatRel by F. Sağlam (2025) <https://doi.org/10.1007/s10994-025-06755-8>,
  together with commonly used alternatives such as SMOTE, ADASYN, Borderline-SMOTE,
  Safe-Level-SMOTE, geometric SMOTE, random oversampling and undersampling. The methods
  share the same interface: they take a feature matrix and a factor class variable
  and return the resampled data together with the synthetic samples.'
