Wait, how does oversampling affect sensitivity?

Not sure about that, seems a bit high for a 3% default rate.

Sensitivity is calculated as true positives / (true positives + false negatives).

I feel like I might be mixing up sensitivity and specificity. I need to double-check how to calculate sensitivity with the population rate.

This reminds me of a practice question where we had to adjust metrics based on class imbalance. I hope I can apply that here.

I remember sensitivity is true positives over the sum of true positives and false negatives, but I'm not sure how to adjust it for the population event probability.

I think we might need to consider the prevalence of defaults in the overall population, which is 3%. That could affect the sensitivity calculation.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I'll have to think it through carefully. Maybe I should review the material on adaptive time thresholds again.

Hmm, this seems like a tricky one. I'll need to think through the different options carefully to identify the three most likely causes.

I'm pretty confident the answer is an app registration. That's how you connect an app to Azure AD to access its resources.
