# PolynomialExpansion

&#x20;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:
