SMOTE-node not working

KNIME Analytics Platform

Hi,

I have a question regarding the SMOTE node.

I need to predict if a web user will be a returning user or not based on their behavior on their first visit.

My target variable is yes/no.

The reason I use SMOTE is that I have a skewed distribution of yes/no with a clear predominance of no.

My problem is that SMOTE doesn’t seem to upsample yes.

Can anyone help me clarify why this is not working?

Thanks in advance,
Sarah
