You could try something like this:
MakeBoxes[HoldForm[ChebyshevT[n_, x_]],
form : StandardForm | TraditionalForm] :=
InterpretationBox[#1, #2] & @@ {RowBox[{SubscriptBox["T",
MakeBoxes[n, form]], "[", MakeBoxes[x, form], "]"}],
ChebyshevT[n, x]}
Then with regular Mathematica:
fitFunctions = Table[HoldForm[ChebyshevT[ii, x]] /. ii -> i, {i, 0, 2}]
% // ReleaseHold
{Subscript[T, 0][x], Subscript[T, 1][x], Subscript[T, 2][x]}
{1, x, -1 + 2 x^2}
Or with Presentations you could use:
fitFunctions =
Table[ChebyshevT[i, x], {i, 0, 2}] // HoldOp[ChebyshevT]
with the same output.
Then with Fit you might use:
data = {{0, 1}, {1, 0}, {3, 2}, {5, 4}};
Fit[data, fitFunctions // ReleaseHold, x]
Cases[%, Alternatives @@
Flatten[{a_Real, a_ Rest@ReleaseHold[fitFunctions]}] ->
a].fitFunctions
0.773869 - 0.266332 x + 0.0954774 (-1 + 2 x^2)
0.773869 Subscript[T, 0][x] - 0.266332 Subscript[T, 1][x] + 0.0954774
Subscript[T, 2][x]

I am trying to create a list of ChebyshevT[n,x] polynomials of different
orders to use as basis functions in a fitting routine. I want to keep the
list in the form that explicitly shows the order number. For example, I want
the list for order n=2 to look like this:
basislist={ChebyshevT[0,x],ChebyshevT[1,x],ChebyshevT[2,x]}.
If I use Table to generate the list, I get each function expanded into a
polynomial in x:
In[1]:= Table[ChebyshevT[i,x],{i,0,2}]
Out[1]= {1,x,-1+2 x^2}
How can I prevent the function from displaying the expanded form for each
value of n? If I use the unexpanded form in the Fit[] function, it works
just fine. But I lose the visual connection to the explicit order number in
the input form of the function. Any suggestions how to keep the "n" visible?
