(FISHER(arg))

 

Returns the Fisher transformation at arg. This transformation produces a function that is normally distributed rather than skewed. Use this function to perform hypothesis testing on the correlation coefficient.

 

The arg value must be a number value between -1 and 1. The resulting variable value is the DOUBLE data type.

 

Example:

 

SET VAR vFisherResult DOUBLE = (FISHER(0.063))

 

SHOW VAR vFisherResult

    0.063083548051763
