Abstract: | Rare event modelling is an important topic in quantitative social science research. However, despite the fact that traditional classifiers based upon general linear models (GLM) might lead to biased results, little attention in the social science community is devoted to methodological studies aimed at alleviating such bias, even fewer of them have considered the use of machine learning methods to tackle analytical problems imposed by rare events. In this thesis, I compared the classification perf... more |
