# PolynomialExpansion

 Polynomial expansion is the process of expanding your features into a polynomial space, which is formulated by an n-degree combination of original dimensions. A PolynomialExpansion class provides this functionality. The example below shows how to expand your features into a 3-degree polynomial space.

```
import org.apache.spark.ml.feature.PolynomialExpansion
import org.apache.spark.ml.linalg.Vectors

val data = Array(
  Vectors.dense(2.0, 1.0),
  Vectors.dense(0.0, 0.0),
  Vectors.dense(3.0, -1.0)
)
val df = spark.createDataFrame(data.map(Tuple1.apply)).toDF("features")

val polyExpansion = new PolynomialExpansion()
  .setInputCol("features")
  .setOutputCol("polyFeatures")
  .setDegree(3)

val polyDF = polyExpansion.transform(df)
polyDF.show(false)

/*
output:

----------+------------------------------------------+
|features  |polyFeatures                              |
+----------+------------------------------------------+
|[2.0,1.0] |[2.0,4.0,8.0,1.0,2.0,4.0,1.0,2.0,1.0]     |
|[0.0,0.0] |[0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0]     |
|[3.0,-1.0]|[3.0,9.0,27.0,-1.0,-3.0,-9.0,1.0,3.0,-1.0]|

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://george-jen.gitbook.io/data-science-and-apache-spark/polynomialexpansion.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
