Problems occur when the number of instances in the classes is not uniform. The exceptional lyuneven class distribution gives rise to class imbalancing issues which tend to demote the overall performance of the classifier. A set of data-level algorithms are available which are applied to adjust the class distribution. The class imbalancing emerges frequently in datasets from educational domains where the number of students with unsatisfactory performance general appears in low number comparing to the students with satisfactory outcomes. This paper applies a set of data-level sampling algorithms over a dataset taken from an educational domain. It underlines the consequences rising from classification with imbalanced dataset. This research confirms that a classification model achieving higher accuracy may not appear effective in correct identification of instances in minority class. Classification with an imbalance dataset may produce low recall, precision and F-Measure for classes with lower number of instances. The performance of classification model improves with application of data level algorithm. However, it highlights the supremacy of oversampling algorithm over undersampling algorithms. � 2021, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
