regression problem

dear useRs,

i'm working with a mean reverting model of the following specification:

y = mu + beta(x - mu) + errorterm, where mu is a constant

currently I estimate just y = x (with lm()) to get beta and then  
calculate mu = estimated intercept / (1-beta).

but I'd like to estimate mu and beta together in one regression-step  
and also get the test-statistics (including parameter variance) for mu  
as well as for beta in the summary of the regression.

could you please help me?

thanks very much in advance!

You might try MLE, construct the liklihood function and then optimize it by
experimenting different choices of parameters. I have doubt how LS
estimation procedure can be employed here as parameters are nonlinear in
nature
