چکیده
Since 1915, statisticians have been applying Fisher’s Z-transformation to Pearson product-moment correlation coefficients. We offer new geometric interpretations of this transformation.

Application of differential transformation method to the fisher equation.
In this paper, the dierential transform method (DTM) is applied to the Fisherequation. This method can be used to obtain the exact solutions of Fisherequation. Finally, we give some examples to illustrate the suciency of themethod for solving such nonlinear partial dierential equations. These resultsshow that this technique is easy to apply.
متن کاملConfidence intervals for correlations when data are not normal.
With nonnormal data, the typical confidence interval of the correlation (Fisher z') may be inaccurate. The literature has been unclear as to which of several alternative methods should be used instead, and how extreme a violation of normality is needed to justify an alternative. Through Monte Carlo simulation, 11 confidence interval methods were compared, including Fisher z', two Spearman rank-...
متن کاملMeta-analysis of correlations revisited: attempted replication and extension of Field's (2001) simulation studies.
In 2 Monte Carlo studies of fixed- and random-effects meta-analysis for correlations, A. P. Field (2001) ostensibly evaluated Hedges-Olkin-Vevea Fisher-z and Schmidt-Hunter Pearson-r estimators and tests in 120 conditions. Some authors have cited those results as evidence not to meta-analyze Fisher-z correlations, especially with heterogeneous correlation parameters. The present attempt to repl...
متن کاملOn measuring the Tully - Fisher relation at z > 1 ⋆ A
The evolution of the line width luminosity relation for spiral galaxies, the Tully-Fisher relation, strongly constrains galaxy formation and evolution models. At this moment, the kinematics of z > 1 spiral galaxies can only be measured using rest frame optical emission lines associated with star formation, such as Hα and [O ]5007/4959 and [O ]3727. This method has intrinsic difficulties an...
متن کاملMechanism of Bainite Transformation in Fe-Cr-Mo-V-Ti-C Steel
The kinetics and mechanism of bainite transformation have been studied in Fe-Cr-Mo-V-Ti-C steel high speed dilatometry backed by thermodynamic analysis. The complete transformation of austenite, however, has not occurred at any reported temperature. Obtained results confirm the incomplete reaction phenomenon with the cessation of the bainite transformation well before the paraequilibrium is ach...
