Hi Im getting the following error when using SMOTE upsampling with decision trees

Please advise.

Hi,

can you please check with a break point if the data set contains positive and negative examples after upsampling?

No there are no positive or negative samples. The target label is binominal and contains 2 classes 'At Risk' and 'Good Standing'
Appreciate your support

Hi,
thats usually ment by "positive' and "negative". Did you check that you have enough At Risk and Standing examples?

The dataset consists of 2018 examples (rows)

Can you please let me know if there is a fix for the SMOTE operator?
