Hi all,
I am trying to predict a target variable that takes values 0 or 1 using the
rpart command. In my initial dataset I have few positive observations of the
target variable; therefore I have oversampled the rare event by a multiple of 6
(i.e. from 762 to 4572).
However, in my results, I end up with a number of positives in one of the
terminal nodes that is not divisible by 6. As I have the same observation
repeated 6 times, shouldn't all of them follow the same branch of the tree and
go to the same terminal node?
Thanks for your help,
Vicente
