FISHER(number)

• $number$ is the value to find 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.
