Abstract: Classification of imbalanced data is an important challenge in current research. Sampling is an important way to solve the problem of imbalanced data classification, but some traditional sampling algorithms are susceptible to outliers. Therefore, an iF-ADASYN sampling algorithm is proposed in this paper. First, based on the ADASYN algorithm, we introduce the isolation Forest algorithm to overcome its vulnerability to outliers. Then, a calculation method of anomaly index which can delete outliers accurately of minority data is presented. The experimental results of four UCI public imbalanced datasets show that the algorithm can effectively improve the accuracy of the minority class, and increase the stability. In the real thrombus dataset, the AUC value of the iF-ADASYN algorithm is more significant than that of SMOTE and ADASYN algorithms, and the recognition rate of patients with thrombosis increased by 20%. The iF-ADASYN algorithm obtains better resistance to outliers than the original ADASYN algorithm. Meanwhile, it improves the accuracy of minority class decision boundary region division.
