What can be a potential drawback of using a high degree polynomial in regression analysis?
- It can lead to overfitting
- It can lead to underfitting
- It doesn't capture relationships between variables
- It simplifies the model too much
Using a high degree polynomial in regression analysis can lead to overfitting. Overfitting occurs when a model captures not only the underlying pattern but also the noise in the data, making it perform well on the training data but poorly on new, unseen data.
