10 Questions
1

Why is Polynomial Regression still considered a 'linear model' in machine learning terminology?

2

What is Runge's Phenomenon in polynomial regression?

3

How does increasing the degree d of a polynomial regression model affect the bias-variance trade-off?

4

Why is feature scaling (e.g., StandardScaler) critical before computing high-degree polynomial features?

5

For a dataset with 5 features, how does the number of interaction and polynomial terms grow when degree d is increased from 1 to 3?

6

What is an effective strategy to counteract the extreme variance of high-degree polynomial regression?

7

How are spline regressions (e.g., B-splines, Natural Cubic Splines) superior to global high-degree polynomial regression?

8

What technique should be used to select the optimal polynomial degree d?

9

Can polynomial regression extrapolate reliably to data points far outside the range of values seen during training?

10

What scikit-learn class generates polynomial and interaction features from raw input vectors?
