Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Suppose that you have a dataset D1 and you design a linear regression model of degree 3 polynomial and you found that the training and testing error is “0” or in another terms it perfectly fits the data.What will happen when you fit degree 4 polynomial in linear regression?
A
There are high chances that degree 4 polynomial will over fit the data
B
There are high chances that degree 4 polynomial will under fit the data
C
Can’t Predict
D
None of these
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -We can choose the degree of polynomial based on the relationship between target and predictor. The 1-degree polynomial is a simple linear regression; therefore, the value of degree must be greater than 1.

Detailed explanation-2: -For figure with polynomial degree=3, the curve fits perfectly with the training data points. So, we would have a very low error value and this would also be termed as Low Bias.

Detailed explanation-3: -Which of the following is true when you fit degree 2 polynomial? Since a degree 2 polynomial will be less complex as compared to degree 3, the bias will be high, and the variance will be low.

Detailed explanation-4: -R’s lm function creates a regression model.
