An illustration of the make_imbalance function to create an imbalanced dataset from a balanced dataset. We show the ability of make_imbalance of dealing with Pandas DataFrame.

sns.set_context("poster")

Generate the dataset

First, we will generate a dataset and convert it to a DataFrame with arbitrary column names. We will plot the original dataset.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import pandas as pd
from sklearn.datasets import make_moons

X, y = make_moons(n_samples=200, shuffle=True, noise=0.5, random_state=10)
X = pd.DataFrame(X, columns=["feature 1", "feature 2"])
ax = X.plot.scatter(
    x="feature 1",
    y="feature 2",
    c=y,
    colormap="viridis",
    colorbar=False,
)
sns.despine(ax=ax, offset=10)
plt.tight_layout()

Make a dataset imbalanced

Now, we will show the helpers make_imbalance that is useful to random select a subset of samples. It will impact the class distribution as specified by the parameters.

from collections import Counter


def ratio_func(y, multiplier, minority_class):
    target_stats = Counter(y)
    return {minority_class: int(multiplier * target_stats[minority_class])}

from imblearn.datasets import make_imbalance

fig, axs = plt.subplots(nrows=2, ncols=3, figsize=(15, 10))

X.plot.scatter(
    x="feature 1",
    y="feature 2",
    c=y,
    ax=axs[0, 0],
    colormap="viridis",
    colorbar=False,
)
axs[0, 0].set_title("Original set")
sns.despine(ax=axs[0, 0], offset=10)

multipliers = [0.9, 0.75, 0.5, 0.25, 0.1]
for ax, multiplier in zip(axs.ravel()[1:], multipliers):
    X_resampled, y_resampled = make_imbalance(
        X,
        y,
        sampling_strategy=ratio_func,
        **{"multiplier": multiplier, "minority_class": 1},
    )
    X_resampled.plot.scatter(
        x="feature 1",
        y="feature 2",
        c=y_resampled,
        ax=ax,
        colormap="viridis",
        colorbar=False,
    )
    ax.set_title(f"Sampling ratio = {multiplier}")
    sns.despine(ax=ax, offset=10)

plt.tight_layout()
plt.show()
