Explanation
SMOTE (Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique) is specifically designed to handle class imbalance by generating synthetic samples for the minority class. Rather than simply duplicating existing minority samples, SMOTE creates new synthetic data points by interpolating between existing minority class observations. Azure Machine Learning Studio supports SMOTE as a sampling mode. This directly addresses the problem of one class having significantly fewer observations, making it a correct and appropriate solution.
