Wierd (?) Polynomial Regression results
Hi,
I'm trying to analyse a dataset with data about airbnb accomodation and what attributes give these accomodation high rating score (which attributes are most influential).
I try doing this by setting the 'review_score_rating'-attribute as label, then running a polynomial regression operator, applying it to a model and looking at the results.
The predicted values however are very weird, typically the value of the label is between 0 and 100, yet the predicted values go from +100000 to -200000.
I'm completely new to data mining and don't really understand how the Polynomial Regression operator works.
Below is my process, I'm wondering what exactly it is I am doing wrong or how I should go about this differently?
Also, please find attached the dataset I'm using for this process.

First congratulations for supplying your process and a dataset and to have asked your question rigorously. You have good understood the rules of this community...
In deed, what you observe is strange.
If you are new in data mining, I advise you to submit your prepared data to AutoModel. With this tool, RapidMiner will automatically create relevant models for your regression problem.
Here the steps :
- Rename your attributes Cat(s) and Dog(s) by Cat and Dog in your Excel file. In deed it seems that the brackets "()" in an attribute name raises an error in AutoModel.
- In your process, set a Breakpoint After on the Subprocess ("data prepping") operator (Right click on this operator).
- Execute the process
- The process stops after the Subprocess and the Results panel displays your prepared dataset . Then click on Auto Model :
- Then click on "Predict" and select your target attribute/Label ("review_scores_rating")
- Then click several times on NEXT until the final window.
You will see the different performances of the proposed models.
I personnaly tried to submit your prepared data to AutoModel and with the Generalized Linear Model, I obtain relevant predictions (between 0 and 100) :
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Lionel
