Extract

In Statistical Methods for Research Workers R. A. Fisher (1) has given a numerical method of curve fitting by means of orthogonal polynomials. It is proposed here to show how the properties of these polynomials and a general formula for them may be developed from the properties of their terminal differences, thus providing general proofs of the properties utilised in the numerical method.
