How to Deal with Imbalanced Multiclass Datasets with Model Studio?

[alisio_meneses]

Hello there.

I am using SAS Viya 3.5 and, as far as I know, Model Studio can deal with imbalanced binary data. It is possible to set the desired proportion of event/non-event using the Event-Based sampling option in the Project Settings. But what about imbalanced multiclass data? Say I have a target with seven classes, some rare, some not. How to deal with this scenario in Model Studio?

Thanks in advance.

This was done using Enterprise Miner.
Enterprise Miner is the predecessor of Model Studio for VDMML
(VDMML = Visual Data Mining and Machine Learning)

I haven't read it though 😞
