Find the best degree for regressing a polynomial | ||||||||
Calculates the best polynomial fit to a set of data | ||||||||
Key Points | ||||||||
BestPoly returns a number which is the order of the best match of polynomila it finds. It looks for the bestfitting polynomial. This function is called by PolyReg if you ask PolyReg to find the best fitting polynomial, and that function actually returns the parameters of the polynomial. This function just returns the order of the polynomial. | ||||||||
