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.

Thanks for your help,

Marie
