    Python Fit_transform() vs. transform()

    Hi, I noticed that in some cases we first call fit_transform(), and afterwards we call transform(). Like in the following example: from sklearn.preprocessing import PolynomialFeatures X_train = np.array([6, 8, 10, 14, 18]).reshape(-1, 1) X_test = np.array([6, 8, 11, 16]).reshape(-1, 1)...
