One of the primary challenges we encountered was a significant class imbalance, with a higher number of patients withdrawing from treatment compared to those staying.

To address this issue, we implemented four different training approaches or pipelines on both the pre-pandemic and post-pandemic training datasets: To address this issue, we implemented four different training approaches or pipelines on both the pre-pandemic and post-pandemic training datasets:
1. **Using the Original Dataset**: The models were trained on the original datasets. 1. **Using the Original Dataset (ORIG)**: The models were trained on the original datasets.
2. **Class Weight Adjustment**: The models were trained on the original datasets but were penalized more heavily for misclassifying the minority class. 2. **Class Weight Adjustment (ORIG_CW)**: The models were trained on the original datasets but were penalized more heavily for misclassifying the minority class.
3. **Oversampling**: Additional samples were generated for the minority class (patients staying) to balance the dataset. 3. **Oversampling (OVER)**: Additional samples were generated for the minority class (patients staying) to balance the dataset.
4. **Undersampling**: Samples from the majority class (patients withdrawing) were reduced to achieve balance. 4. **Undersampling (UNDER)**: Samples from the majority class (patients withdrawing) were reduced to achieve balance.
These approaches resulted in multiple training datasets. However, to ensure a fair comparison of the models' performance across different pipelines, we utilized a common test dataset for evaluation, irrespective of the training approach followed.
