Because it is impossible to satisfy all pairs of data in this case. However sometimes, we try to do polynomial interpolation with a fixed degree. So I am wondering if it is just a confusion about the vocabulary. Maybe we shoud say: polynomial regression for the preivous link? | |

| Aug 8, 2016 at 7:52 | comment | added | Tim | Nice answer. I would add that with regression, there is a statistical model behind it that defines the relation between $Y$ and $X$ in terms of some distribution, where we estimate it's mean (or median, or quantiles etc. in different flavors of regression), e.g. stats.stackexchange.com/questions/173660/… | |
