if you want least squares look at the help files for "lm" and
"poly".
poly creates a basis matrix for polynomials evaluated at x
lm does least squares fitting.
here is an example:
x <- 1:100 #simulated data
y <- rnorm(100)
n <- 4 #degree of polynomial
fit1 <- lm(y~poly(x,degree=n)) ##fit to data
plot(x,y) #examle plot
lines(x,fitted(fit1))
hope this helps,
