Day 29: Polynomial Regression — Capturing Non-Linear Relationships

📰 Medium · Data Science

Learn to capture non-linear relationships using Polynomial Regression, a crucial step after understanding Linear Regression

intermediate Published 18 Apr 2026
Action Steps
  1. Apply Polynomial Regression to a dataset using Python's scikit-learn library to capture non-linear relationships
  2. Build a model with varying degrees of polynomial features to compare results
  3. Configure the model to handle overfitting by using regularization techniques
  4. Test the model's performance using metrics such as mean squared error and R-squared
  5. Compare the results of Polynomial Regression with Linear Regression to determine the best approach for a given problem
