Fisher's Tanh(sup minus 1) Transformation of the Correlation Coefficient and a Test for Complete Independence in a Multivariate Normal Population.

Reddon, John R.

Journal of Educational Statistics, v12 n3 p294-300 Fall 1987

Computer sampling from a multivariate normal spherical population was used to evaluate Type I error rates for a test of P = I based on Fisher's tanh(sup minus 1) variance stabilizing transformation of the correlation coefficient. (Author/TJH)
