Statistical Details for the Fit Polynomial Option

A polynomial of degree 2 is a parabola; a polynomial of degree 3 is a cubic curve. For degree k, the model for the ith row is defined as follows:

where

is the response value at xi, the ith observation

βj is the jth parameter

k is the degree of the polynomial

εi is the error term for the model
