FISHER(x)

• $x$ is the number.

Description

• This function gives the value of Fisher Transformation at $x$.
• 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 $FISHER(X)$, $x$ is the number 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 $arctanh$ is the Inverse Hyperbolic function.

• This function will give the result as error when:
