The previous calibration of the Strömgren photometric indices in terms of spectroscopic [Fe/H] values was performed by Schuster and Nissen (1989) with the application to their sample of calibration stars a mathematical package handling the regression of [Fe/H] values against the (by), m1, and c1 indices, and their combinations. To provide a similar regression we applied a quite another independent statistical method (notably that of of stepwise linear regression) to the same sample and also to other available calibration samples of F stars. We conclude that in our case the quality of calibration was slightly better and the analytical form of calibration equation was much simpler.
