Fu-Lin --
I did the following, fitting parametric eqns. for x & y to data with
noise in y. Each variable (x, & y) is fitted separately. Is this what you
wanted?
data= Table[{ 2t, 5 t^2+Random[Real,{- t,+t},3] },{t,0,5,.1} ];
ListPlot[data];
tVec=Table[t,{t,0.,5.,.1} ];
fitData=Table[{tVec[[i]],data[[i,j]]},{j,1,2},{i,1,51} ];
x=Fit[fitData[[1]],{t},t ]
y=Fit[fitData[[2]],{t^2},t ]
Show[ListPlot[data ], ParametricPlot[{x, y}, {t, 0., 5.}] ];
