`scipy.odr.``polynomial`(order)

  Factory function for a general polynomial model.

  Parameters: | order : int or sequence If an integer, it becomes the order of the polynomial to fit. If a sequence of numbers, then these are the explicit powers in the polynomial. A constant term (power 0) is always included, so don’t include 0. Thus, polynomial(n) is equivalent to polynomial(range(1, n+1)).
  Returns: | polynomial : Model instance Model instance.
