[R] collocation methods

[Alexander Nervedi]

Hi All,

I have found the function poly(), that computes orthogonal polynomials. I 
was wondering if there are users of this function on the list. What kind of 
an orthognal polynomial is this fititng ? Is it, for example,  least square, 
galerkin, or collocation ?

It references Chambers and Hastie, and Kennedy and Gentle, but I dont have 
access to either.

thanks
Alex
