Oct 23 at 15:03 comment added Meo Thank you! I read your post regarding Classification vs Prediction. fharrell.com/post/classification/….
Oct 20 at 12:02 comment added Frank Harrell The short answer is don’t use any forced-choice classification on categorical Y that doesn’t naturally have balance. Instead model tendencies, i.e. probabilities of Y.
Oct 19 at 14:23 comment added Meo I did. But I couldn’t find a discussion for using decision tree on censored outcome with imbalanced data. Can you please help me or guide me to the discussion? Thank you!

Oct 19 at 6:14 comment added Meo Can you please elaborate on your response? I am trying to build a classification tree to predict mortality. I used SMOTE to balance my dataset, but don’t know how to take care of the censoring problem since each individual in the data has different follow up time. That’s why I thought of using weights. I would really appreciate any advice. Thank you!
