""" ============================================= Compare ensemble classifiers using resampling ============================================= Ensemble classifiers have shown to improve classification performance compare to single learner. However, they will be affected by class imbalance. This example shows the benefit of balancing the training set before to learn learners. We are making the comparison with non-balanced ensemble methods. We make a comparison using the balanced accuracy and geometric mean which are metrics widely used in the literature to evaluate models learned on imbalanced set.
