Reference Issue
Fixes #1101
What does this implement/fix? Explain your changes.
This PR adds a visible warning at the top of the over-sampling user guide to set expectations about over-sampling methods (e.g., random over-sampling, SMOTE, ADASYN). The warning notes that these methods may not improve ranking metrics (e.g., ROC-AUC) and can degrade probability calibration, and points users to common alternatives such as
class_weight,sample_weight, decision threshold tuning, or collecting more minority data.Any other comments?
