Noisy Data From a Tenth Order Polygon

Description

Training and test data create from a tenth order polynomial with added noise. The polynomial is given by

f(x) = 2 x - 10 x^5 + 15 x^10

The noise follows a standard normal distribution. The data can be used to demonstrate overfitting. It is inspired by section II. B. in A high-bias, low-variance introduction to Machine Learning for physicists

Usage

noisy_data

Format

a list of two tibbles with two columns each. x stands for the independent, y for the dependent variable. The training data (noisy_data$train) contains 1000 rows, the test data (noisy_data$test) 20 rows.
