st: Parameter Estimation in Orthogonal Polynomial Regression

[Ehsan <wildstat0@lycos.com>]

Dear all,

Can any one tell me if it is possible to perform Orthogonal Polynomial 
Regression parameter estimation in Stata? If possible, how?

Let the data be -
Y 	X
0.93 	1957
0.99 	1958
1.11 	1959
1.33 	1960
1.52 	1961
1.60 	1962
1.47 	1963
1.33 	1964
and we want to fit the polynomial of 6th order.

--------------------------------------------

Any response / help / comment / suggestion / idea / web-link / replies will 
be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your time.
