Abstract
Many applications in the real world encounter the class imbalance problem. This problem affects the performance of the model prediction. Nowadays, resampling technique is a popular technique to handle the class imbalance problem such as oversampling, undersampling, and hybridsampling. Thus, this paper proposes a new hybrid resampling technique to deal with the class imbalance problem, called DBSM. The concept of DBSM is to use DBSCAN algorithm for undersampling and apply SMOTE technique for oversampling. The experimental results of the DBSM algorithm are compared with an original datasets and other sampling techniques, which are SMOTE, Tomek Links, SMOTE+Tomek Links and DBSCAN. The results show that the DBSM can improve the predictive performance of the classifiers. In addition, it yields the best in the average of AUC, F-measure, and accuracy.
