class sklearn.preprocessing.PolynomialFeatures(degree=2, *, interaction_only=False, include_bias=True, order='C') [source]
 
Generate polynomial and interaction features. Generate a new feature matrix consisting of all polynomial combinations of the features with degree less than or equal to the specified degree. For example, if an input sample is two dimensional and of the form [a, b], the degree-2 polynomial features are [1, a, b, a^2, ab, b^2].  Parameters 
 
degreeint, default=2 

The degree of the polynomial features.  
interaction_onlybool, default=False 

If true, only interaction features are produced: features that are products of at most degree distinct input features (so not x[1] ** 2, x[0] * x[2] ** 3, etc.).  
include_biasbool, default=True 

If True (default), then include a bias column, the feature in which all polynomial powers are zero (i.e. a column of ones - acts as an intercept term in a linear model).  
order{‘C’, ‘F’}, default=’C’ 

Order of output array in the dense case. ‘F’ order is faster to compute, but may slow down subsequent estimators.  New in version 0.21.     Attributes 
 
powers_ndarray of shape (n_output_features, n_input_features) 

powers_[i, j] is the exponent of the jth input in the ith output.  
n_input_features_int 

The total number of input features.  
n_output_features_int 

The total number of polynomial output features. The number of output features is computed by iterating over all suitably sized combinations of input features.     Notes Be aware that the number of features in the output array scales polynomially in the number of features of the input array, and exponentially in the degree. High degrees can cause overfitting.

 Methods  
fit(X[, y]) Compute number of output features.  
fit_transform(X[, y]) Fit to data, then transform it.  
get_feature_names([input_features]) Return feature names for output features  
get_params([deep]) Get parameters for this estimator.  
set_params(**params) Set the parameters of this estimator.  
transform(X) Transform data to polynomial features    
fit(X, y=None) [source]
 
Compute number of output features.  Parameters 
 
X{array-like, sparse matrix} of shape (n_samples, n_features) 

The data.  
yNone 

Ignored.    Returns 
 
selfobject 

Fitted transformer.     
  
fit_transform(X, y=None, **fit_params) [source]
 
Fit to data, then transform it. Fits transformer to X and y with optional parameters fit_params and returns a transformed version of X.  Parameters 
 
Xarray-like of shape (n_samples, n_features) 

Input samples.  
yarray-like of shape (n_samples,) or (n_samples, n_outputs), default=None 

Target values (None for unsupervised transformations).  
**fit_paramsdict 

Additional fit parameters.    Returns 
 
X_newndarray array of shape (n_samples, n_features_new) 

Transformed array.     
  
get_feature_names(input_features=None) [source]
 
Return feature names for output features  Parameters 
 
input_featureslist of str of shape (n_features,), default=None 

String names for input features if available. By default, “x0”, “x1”, … “xn_features” is used.    Returns 
 
output_feature_nameslist of str of shape (n_output_features,) 
   
  
get_params(deep=True) [source]
 
Get parameters for this estimator.  Parameters 
 
deepbool, default=True 

If True, will return the parameters for this estimator and contained subobjects that are estimators.    Returns 
 
paramsdict 

Parameter names mapped to their values.     
  
set_params(**params) [source]
 
Set the parameters of this estimator. The method works on simple estimators as well as on nested objects (such as Pipeline). The latter have parameters of the form <component>__<parameter> so that it’s possible to update each component of a nested object.  Parameters 
 
**paramsdict 

Estimator parameters.    Returns 
 
selfestimator instance 

Estimator instance.     
  
transform(X) [source]
 
Transform data to polynomial features  Parameters 
 
X{array-like, sparse matrix} of shape (n_samples, n_features) 

The data to transform, row by row. Prefer CSR over CSC for sparse input (for speed), but CSC is required if the degree is 4 or higher. If the degree is less than 4 and the input format is CSC, it will be converted to CSR, have its polynomial features generated, then converted back to CSC. If the degree is 2 or 3, the method described in “Leveraging Sparsity to Speed Up Polynomial Feature Expansions of CSR Matrices Using K-Simplex Numbers” by Andrew Nystrom and John Hughes is used, which is much faster than the method used on CSC input. For this reason, a CSC input will be converted to CSR, and the output will be converted back to CSC prior to being returned, hence the preference of CSR.    Returns 
 
XP{ndarray, sparse matrix} of shape (n_samples, NP) 

The matrix of features, where NP is the number of polynomial features generated from the combination of inputs. If a sparse matrix is provided, it will be converted into a sparse csr_matrix.
