+## PolynomialExpansion
+
+[Polynomial expansion](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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](api/scala/index.html#org.apache.spark.ml.feature.PolynomialExpansion) class provides this functionality.  The example below shows how to expand your features into a 3-degree polynomial space.
