Multicollinearity occurs when predictors in your regression model correlate highly, making it hard to isolate individual variable effects.

A standard linear regression assumes the outcome is continuous and normally distributed, which just doesn’t hold up in many of these cases. That’s where GLMs come in.

In this article, we show that the issue with polynomial regression is not over-fitting, but numerical precision. Even if done right, numerical precision still remains an insurmountable challenge. We focus here on step-wise polynomial regression, which is supposed to be more stable than the traditional model. In step-wise regression, we estimate one coefficient at a… Read More »Deep Dive into Polynomial Regression and Overfitting
