Question

Let us consider a pipeline that combines a polynomial feature extraction of degree 2 and a linear regression model. Let us assume that the linear regression coefficients are all non-zero and that the dataset contains a single feature. Is the prediction function of this pipeline a straight line?

  • a) yes

  • b) no

Select a single answer

Question

Question

Combining (one or more) feature engineering transformers in a single pipeline:
