+Effect of Resampling on Probability Calibration for Classifiers
+====================================================
+
+With this example we illustrate how resampling a data set (like Under-sampling) can affect
+the calibration of a classifier's predicted probabilities , and how can we fix this issue using
+:class:`~sklearn.calibration.CalibratedClassifierCV`
+
+When we resample a dataset so we can balance it , we change the prior probabilities
+of the classes contained in the dataset.The model learns that some classes
+are more frequent than they actually are and some classes are less frequent than they actually are.
+
+This example shows:
+1. The calibration curve of a model trained on the original dataset.
+2. The resampled model's calibration curve, which is distorted
+3. How to recover the probabilities using calibration

+# The Problem: Resampling distorts probabilities
+# -----------------------------------------------
+# At first , we train a :class:`~sklearn.linear_model.LogisticRegression` classifier on
+# the original data. Then, we train a second :class:`~sklearn.linear_model.LogisticRegression` classifier
+# on data that has been undersampled to a 50-50 ratio using a :class:`imblearn.under_sampling.RandomUnderSampler`.

+# **Observation:**
+# The resampled model's curve is significantly below the diagonal. It is obvious that the
+# model is over-confident: it predicts high probabilities for the
+# positive class, but the actual fraction of positives is much lower.
+
+# %%
+# The Solution: Probability Calibration
+# ------------------------------------
+# We use :class:`~sklearn.calibration.CalibratedClassifierCV`to calibrate the model.It is important
+# to note that the calibrator needs to be trained to data with the real class distribution. Therefore we split
+# the training set into two parts:
+#
+# ``X_model_train``: used for training and resampled
+# ``X_calib``: used to train the calibrator (original distribution)
+
+from sklearn.calibration import CalibratedClassifierCV
+
+# Split the training set
+X_model_train, X_calib, y_model_train, y_calib = train_test_split(
+    X_train, y_train, test_size=0.15, random_state=42, stratify=y_train
+)
+
+# Resample and train the model
+X_undersampled2, y_undersampled2 = under_sampler.fit_resample(X_model_train, y_model_train)
+lr_resampled = LogisticRegression(random_state=42)
+lr_resampled.fit(X_undersampled2, y_undersampled2)
+
+# Calibrate using the untouched set (X_calib,y_calib)
+# We use method='sigmoid', good for logisitc regression and for few positives samples in the calib set
+# We use cv='prefit' because the base model is already trained.
+calibrated_model = CalibratedClassifierCV(
+    lr_resampled, method="sigmoid", cv="prefit"
+)
+calibrated_model.fit(X_calib, y_calib)

+# %%
+# Comparing the Results
+# ---------------------
+# We plot the calibration curve of the fixed model
+

+
+# Plot the undersampled uncalibrated model

+# We can also check that the calibration did not affect the model's ranking quality by
+# checking that ROC AUC (discrimination power) has not been affected.
+# In addition we can use the Brier Score metric to see the improvement in the
