Many real-world classification problems such as fraud detection, intrusion detection, churn prediction, and anomaly detection suffer from the problem of imbalanced datasets. Therefore, in all such classification tasks, we need to balance the imbalanced datasets before building classifiers for prediction purposes. Several data-balancing techniques (DBT) have been discussed in the literature to address this issue. However, not much work is conducted to assess the performance of DBT. Therefore, in this research paper we empirically assess the performance of the data-preprocessing-level data-balancing techniques, namely: Under Sampling (OS), Over Sampling (OS), Hybrid Sampling (HS), Random Over Sampling Examples (ROSE), Synthetic Minority Over Sampling (SMOTE), and Clustering-Based Under Sampling (CBUS) techniques. We have used six different classifiers and twenty-five different datasets, that have varying levels of imbalance ratio (IR), to assess the performance of DBT. The experimental results indicate that DBT helps to improve the performance of the classifiers. However, no significant difference was observed in the performance of the US, OS, HS, SMOTE, and CBUS. It was also observed that performance of DBT was not consistent across varying levels of IR in the dataset and different classifiers.
