With the help of synthetic and real-world problems, it is shown that the performance of the Adaboost algorithm is degraded in presence of a moderate uncertainty in either the input or the output values. It is also established that a preprocessing stage improves the accuracy of the classifier in a wide range of binary classification problems, including those whose imbalance ratio is uncertain.}, doi = {10.1142/S0218488512400156}, url = {https://doi.org/10.1142/S0218488512400156}, author = {Palacios, Ana and S{\'a}nchez, Luciano and Couso, In{\'e}s} }
