What is polynomial regression?

First of all, let's explain what polynomial regression is. Polynomial regression is a machine learning algorithm that's used to predict the target value of a given dataset. It is a form of supervised learning. In supervised learning, the algorithm is given the training dataset with feature vector and target values. The algorithm constructs a model that is capable of predicting the new target value, which corresponds to new incoming features. Before we learn about polynomial regression, let's take a look at what supervised learning is.
