EN Bagging ensembles proved to work better than boosting for class imbalanced and noisy data. We compare performance and diversity of the two best performing, in this setting, bagging ensembles: Roughly Balanced Bagging (RBBag) and Neighbourhood Balanced Bagging (NBBag). We show that NBBag makes correct prediction on a higher than RBBag number of difficult to learn minority examples. Then we detect a trade-off between correct recognition of difficult minority examples and majority examples, which makes RBBag better in some cases. We also introduce a simple but effective technique to select parameters for NBBag.
