In this paper, several experiments on 19 benchmark datasets are set up to study the efficiency of six powerful oversampling approaches, including both “classical” and new ones. According to our experimental results, oversampling techniques that consider the minority class distribution (new ones) perform better in most cases and RACOG gives the best performance among the six reviewed approaches. We further validate our conclusion on our real-world inspired vehicle datasets and also find applying oversampling techniques can improve the performance by around 10%. In addition, seven data complexity measures are considered for the initial purpose of investigating the relationship between data complexity measures and the choice of resampling techniques. Although no obvious relationship can be abstracted in our experiments, we find F1v value, a measure for evaluating the overlap which most researchers ignore, has a strong negative correlation with the potential AUC value (after resampling).
