Why Is Imbalanced Classification Difficult?

Imbalanced classification is primarily challenging as a predictive modeling task because of the severely skewed class distribution. This is the cause for poor performance with traditional machine learning models and evaluation metrics that assume a balanced class distribution. Nevertheless, there are additional properties of a classification dataset that are not only challenging for predictive modeling […]
