Dear all, I would like to know what family of orthogonal polynomials is used in the function poly(). I am using poly(X, 2) in a PLS regression, and I need the formula used to calculate the orthogonal polynomials to get back to the effect of the X variable. The reference cited in the help page for poly() is not available in my institution, and I would appreciate any indication or reference on the family used.
