Abstract

Imbalanced classes are indicated by having more instances of some classes than others. The cost-Sensitive boosting algorithm is a modification of the AdaBoost algorithm, which aims to solve the problem of imbalanced classes. In this study, we evaluate the cost-sensitive Boosting algorithm AdaC2 using Indonesia^s underdeveloped region^s data. This study confirms that the cost-sensitive boosting algorithm (AdaC2) performs better in classifying the instances in minority classes than ^standards^ classification method algorithms such as Single Decision Tree, Random Forest, and AdaBoost.
