seniorAnomaly Detection
Handling Imbalanced Classes in supervised detection.
Updated May 5, 2026
Short answer
Use SMOTE, cost-sensitive learning, or Precision-Recall metrics[cite: 1].
Deep explanation
Since anomalies are rare, accuracy is a misleading metric. Use F1-score or AUPRC. Penalize the model more for missing an anomaly than for a false alarm[cite: 1].
