How to solve AttributeError: ‘SMOTE’ object has no attribute ‘fit_sample’ ?

The error AttributeError: ‘SMOTE’ object has no attribute ‘fit_sample’ is caused due to incorrect function you are using. If you import SMOTE using the below code like this then you should use fit_resample() instead of fit_sample.

from imblearn.over_sampling import SMOTE

you need to do fit_resample()

oversample = SMOTE()
X, y = oversample.fit_resample(X, y)

Hope the above solution works.
