For n = 2 … 11 set up Vandermonde matrix A of size m × n and for each n given data set a. Matlab

I am given set of 50 data points with values {a^(i),b^(i)} for i=1,...,50
stored in the arrays a and b.
I know that the Vandermonde matrix A has size m x n, where n = 2 ... 11 and m is the size of the array a.



I want to to fit the data with a polynomial of degree (n − 1), for n = 2,...,11. To do that for each n I have to set up the Vandermonde matrix A of size m × n.



The Vandermonde matrix A solves the following equation:
A^T*A*x = A^T*b



Where the A^T is the transpose matrix and I have b already given.
Also we know that Aij = (a^(i))^(j−1) for j = 1,...,n,
What confuses me is how to set the matrix for n = 2,..,11.



What my line of thought is:
I have m = length(a); this will set up m = 50;



n = 11;



Then A=ones(m,n); This creates a matrix A filled with ones that has the correct size.



However I am not sure how to populate the matrix.
I wrote the following for loop which I thought will populate the matrix:



for n = 2:11
j=n;
for i = 1:50
A(i,n) = (a^(i))^(j-1);
end
end


Could you help me please with setting up the matrix?

          You should use the vander function. However, vander will return an m x m matrix, which is usually used to fit the data to a polynomial of degree (m-1). Since you want to fit to a polynomial of degree (n-1), you only need the last n columns of that matrix.



          Here's the code:



          A = vander(a);
          A = A(:,end-n+1:end);
