FISHER (Number)

• $Number$ is the value to find the Fisher transformation.
  • FISHER(), returns the Fisher transformation.

Description

• This function gives the value of Fisher Transformation for the given number.
• Fisher Transformation is used to test the hypothesis of two correlations.
• It is mainly associated with the Pearson Product-Moment Correlation coefficient for bi-variate normal observations.
• In $FISHER(Number)$, $Number$ is the value which ranges between -1 to +1.
• The transformation is defined by : $z={\frac {1}{2}}ln(1+{\frac {x}{1-x}})=arctanh(x)$

where $ln$ is the natural logarithm function and Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle arctanh } is the Inverse Hyperbolic function.

• This function will give the result as error when:

1.Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle Number}
 is non-numeric

3. FISHER(-0.3278) = -0.3403614004970268
4. FISHER(1) = Infinity
5. FISHER(-1) = -Infinity
