CSci 574 Machine Learning : U06-1 Polynomial Regression and Learning Curves

Unit 06, Video 01 - Polynomial Regression and Learning Curves This video covers performing a regression on a nonlinear set of data (with higher degree polynomial terms), and we look at learning curve plots as a tool for training ML models. Somewhat surprisingly, the general technique of fitting a model using the RMSE cost function can be applied to nonlinear data. If we add in higher degree polynomial terms as features of the data set we are trying to fit, the RMSE and gradient descent type optimization
