Changelog

New features

• Add the the function imblearn.metrics.macro_averaged_mean_absolute_error returning the average across class of the MAE. This metric is used in ordinal classification. #780 by Aurélien Massiot.
• Add the class imblearn.metrics.pairwise.ValueDifferenceMetric to compute pairwise distances between samples containing only categorical values. #796 by Guillaume Lemaitre.
• Add the class imblearn.over_sampling.SMOTEN to over-sample data only containing categorical features. #802 by Guillaume Lemaitre.
• Add the possibility to pass any type of samplers in imblearn.ensemble.BalancedBaggingClassifier unlocking the implementation of methods based on resampled bagging. #808 by Guillaume Lemaitre.

Enhancements

• Add option output_dict in imblearn.metrics.classification_report_imbalanced to return a dictionary instead of a string. #770 by Guillaume Lemaitre.
• Added an option to generate smoothed bootstrap in `imblearn.over_sampling.RandomOverSampler. It is controled by the parameter shrinkage. This method is also known as Random Over-Sampling Examples (ROSE). #754 by Andrea Lorenzon and Guillaume Lemaitre.

Bug fixes

• Fix a bug in imblearn.under_sampling.ClusterCentroids where voting="hard" could have lead to select a sample from any class instead of the targeted class. #769 by Guillaume Lemaitre.
• Fix a bug in imblearn.FunctionSampler where validation was performed even with validate=False when calling fit. #790 by Guillaume Lemaitre.

Maintenance

• Remove requirements files in favour of adding the packages in the extras_require within the setup.py file. #816 by Guillaume Lemaitre.
• Change the website template to use pydata-sphinx-theme. #801 by Guillaume Lemaitre.

Deprecation

• The context manager imblearn.utils.testing.warns is deprecated in 0.8 and will be removed 1.0. #815 by Guillaume Lemaitre.

Version 0.7.0

A release to bump the minimum version of scikit-learn to 0.23 with a couple of bug fixes.
Check the what's new for more information.

Version 0.6.2

This is a bug-fix release to resolve some issues regarding the handling the input and the output format of the arrays.

Changelog

• Allow column vectors to be passed as targets. #673 by @chkoar.
• Better input/output handling for pandas, numpy and plain lists. #681 by @chkoar.

Version 0.6.1

This is a bug-fix release to primarily resolve some packaging issues in version 0.6.0. It also includes minor documentation improvements and some bug fixes.

Changelog

Bug fixes

• Fix a bug in :class:imblearn.ensemble.BalancedRandomForestClassifier leading to a wrong number of samples used during fitting due max_samples and therefore a bad computation of the OOB score. :pr:656 by :user:Guillaume Lemaitre <glemaitre>.

Version 0.6.0

Changelog

Changed models
..............

The following models might give some different sampling due to changes in
scikit-learn:

• :class:imblearn.under_sampling.ClusterCentroids
• :class:imblearn.under_sampling.InstanceHardnessThreshold

The following samplers will give different results due to change linked to
the random state internal usage:

• :class:imblearn.over_sampling.SMOTENC

Bug fixes
.........

• :class:imblearn.under_sampling.InstanceHardnessThreshold now take into
  account the random_state and will give deterministic results. In addition,
  cross_val_predict is used to take advantage of the parallelism.
  :pr:599 by :user:Shihab Shahriar Khan <Shihab-Shahriar>.

• Fix a bug in :class:imblearn.ensemble.BalancedRandomForestClassifier
  leading to a wrong computation of the OOB score.
  :pr:656 by :user:Guillaume Lemaitre <glemaitre>.

Maintenance
...........

• Update imports from scikit-learn after that some modules have been privatize.
  The following import have been changed:
  :class:sklearn.ensemble._base._set_random_states,

Enhancement
...........

• :class:imblearn.under_sampling.RandomUnderSampling,
  :class:imblearn.over_sampling.RandomOverSampling,

  will output Pandas DataFrame. Similarly, it will accepts Pandas Series in and
  will output Pandas Series.
  :pr:636 by :user:Guillaume Lemaitre <glemaitre>.

• :class:imblearn.FunctionSampler accepts a parameter validate allowing
  to check or not the input X and y.

• All samplers will output a Pandas DataFrame if a Pandas DataFrame was given
  as an input.
