Look inside

In this liveProject, you’ll utilize undersampling techniques to balance out a seismic activity dataset. To balance this dataset, you will utilize the ClusterCentroids, NearMiss and CondensedNearestNeighbor algorithms to downsample the majority class. Then, the performance is compared using random forest, logistic regression and Naive Bayes binary classification algorithms.

This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
