How to deal with count data in random forest












0












$begingroup$


I am working on a classification model where my target class is a biased class with the class shape as



    0     1 
20694 101


Most of my features are the count of number of times a certain event was triggered. While exploring these features I found that my target variable is only associated with certain values of features. For example as below



                 0         1
Feature V1
0 12014 75
1 6490 16
2 1177 6
3 402 2
4 176 2
5 100
6 84
7 61
8 39
9 23
10 26
11 14


As we can see that 1 only occurs when V1 has value of 0 to 4.Thus for any unseen data my model would always predict 0 whenever V1 has value greater than 4.



I thought of using bestNormalize package, however the transformations it is suggesting looses correlation when applied to the data.



Any suggestion would be of great help.



Thanks a lot in advance!!



P.S. Happy to share the data if required.
