Leveraging Quadratic Polynomials in Python for Advanced Data Analysis [version 2; peer review: 2 approved]

Abstract

This research explores the application of quadratic polynomials in Python for advanced data analysis. The study demonstrates how quadratic models can effectively capture nonlinear relationships in complex datasets by leveraging Python libraries such as NumPy, Matplotlib, scikit-learn, and Pandas. The methodology involves fitting quadratic polynomials to the data using least-squares regression and evaluating the model fit using the coefficient of determination (R-squared). The results highlight the strong performance of the quadratic polynomial fit, as evidenced by high R-squared values, indicating the model’s ability to explain a substantial proportion of the data variability. Comparisons with linear and cubic models further underscore the quadratic model’s balance between simplicity and precision for many practical applications. The study also acknowledges the limitations of quadratic polynomials and proposes future research directions to enhance their accuracy and efficiency for diverse data analysis tasks. This research bridges the gap between theoretical concepts and practical implementation, providing an accessible Python-based tool for leveraging quadratic polynomials in data analysis.
