# Imbalanced Distribution Alert

Indicates a disproportionate ratio of observations in each class in training data.

![Note](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-analytics-bi-264-0-0-production-enus/ec791473-f5b4-4f64-a656-9104f455d966/images/icon_note.png)

Note Einstein Discovery stories are now models. We wish we could snap our fingers to update the name everywhere, but you can expect to see the previous name in a few places until we replace it.

## Actions to Consider

Calibrating a model on an imbalanced dataset can result in a less reliable model. To have Einstein Discovery apply class weights to your data:

- Select the variable that’s displaying an Imbalanced Distribution alert.

- Click **Apply class weights** or **Ignore alert**.

When you create a model version, Einstein:

- increases the frequency in the minority class by upsampling the data.
- reduces the frequency in the majority class by downsampling the data.

## Detection Methodology

Einstein Discovery automatically alerts you when it detects an imbalanced distribution.
