Victor -
Do you mean you want an equation that will exactly reproduce Y or
approximately reproduce Y? How were your Y-values obtained? Do they have
measurement errors in them, or are they in any other way, unrepeatable? You
can always find a N-1 degree polynomial that will exactly go through N
values of Y for distinct X, but that would most likely be a meaningless
exercise.
