Awesome, thanks so much. So far so good... Hopefully it turns out ok! Just out of curiosity, how does it choose the number of attributes to balance? For each fold, is it a random number of balanced target labels each fold? Or is it a fixed number (e.g., the maximum number of labels such that the number of target labels remains equal)?
thanks for your help...
