I am training an SVM, an ensemble of trees and a logistic regression on some data. I have used the classification learner app to generate the code for those classifiers () and have adjusted the code to my needs. Now I want to do oversampling because my data is unbalanced. I am using K-fold cross-validation and so I want to balance out every training set for every fold by inserting duplicate training data of the minority class. However, the functions generated from the app use the function crossval to do k-fold cross validation and as far as I know there is no way to balance the data set in that function.
Furthermore, I have tried to get the code for crossval() and made it into my own function, inserted the function in the code for the SVM classifier and tried to train the classifier. However, I got an error. I think there are 2 functions that have the name crossval(). The one that shows up if you ask matlab for the code is the one that does not accept a trained classifier as an input, which is the function that my code uses, and so I can not look at the code and adjust it to do balancing in every fold.
Is there a way I can get the code for the crossval function that accepts a trained classifier, or, is there a way I can do over-sampling without having to change the crossval function. I do not want to use under-sampling because my data set is too small, and if I do balancing before crossvalidation I might have the same two cases in both the training and the testing set.
