What are the strategies to address the issue of overfitting in polynomial regression?
- Add more independent variables
- Increase the degree of the polynomial
- Increase the number of observations
- Use regularization techniques
Overfitting in polynomial regression can be addressed by using regularization techniques, such as Ridge or Lasso, which add a penalty term to the loss function to constrain the magnitude of the coefficients, resulting in a simpler model. Other strategies can include reducing the degree of the polynomial or using cross-validation to tune the complexity of the model.
