I don't think I understand this operator and I am unable to produce an acceptable result. This is a very basic sample of a process to test the operator.

And this is the resulting plot.

I realize I could do this part in excel or scilab, but I figured rapidminer must be capable and I must be doing something wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated! :)

    You are applying the model on a dataset with different attributes than the training set, since Apply Model is outside of Work on Subset (which is kind of deprecated anyway). I tried the Polynomial Regression operator on random data, and it looks quit well. Please have a look at the attached process.

    Hmm.. Your process works for me as well. Yet when I try to structure mine the same, I get the same results as in my first post.

    Also, going on a bit of a tangent.. If I modify your process as below, to include more than one attribute and work on a subset of att1 and label, I get an error saying that no label attribute is found.

    Hm.. honestly I have no idea why you get that bad results. In your special use case you have linear data anyway, so probably a linear regression would work better here. Maybe you could also try higher values for max iterations.

    The second process you posted is not valid, probably something went wrong with copy-paste :)

    Best, Marius
