FISHERINV function

PRO BASIC

The FISHERINV function in Jspreadsheet Formulas Pro returns the original correlation coefficient from a value that has undergone a Fisher transformation. It's like a reverse process. You input a Fisher-transformed value, and it returns the corresponding correlation coefficient. This is particularly useful in statistical analysis where Fisher transformation is often applied.

Documentation

Returns the inverse of the Fisher transformation on a specified value.

Syntax

FISHERINV(y)

Parameter	Description
`y`	The numeric value for which to find the inverse Fisher transformation.

Behavior

The 'FISHERINV' function is used to perform the inverse of the Fisher transformation. The function helps to revert the transformed data back to its original form. The function expects a single numerical input.

If the cell is empty, the function will return an error because it requires a numerical input to work properly.
If the cell contains text, the function will return an error as it can only handle numerical values.
If the cell contains a boolean value, the function will convert it into a numerical value (1 for TRUE and 0 for FALSE) before performing the transformation.
If the cell contains an error, the function will return that error.
If the cell contains a numerical value, the function will perform the inverse Fisher transformation on that value.

Common Errors

Error	Description
#VALUE!	This error is returned if the input is non-numeric.

Best practices

Always ensure that the input for the 'FISHERINV' function is a numerical value within the range -1 to 1 (exclusive).

Remember that 'FISHERINV' calculates the inverse of the Fisher transformation, not the original transformation. To perform the Fisher transformation, use the 'FISHER' function.

Check your data for errors before applying the 'FISHERINV' function to avoid propagation of errors.

Use 'FISHERINV' function when you are dealing with hyperbolic data and you want to revert the transformed data back to its original form.

Usage

A few examples using the FISHERINV function.

FISHERINV(0.5493) // ≈ 0.5 → reverses Fisher transformation of 0.5 correlation
FISHERINV(1.0986) // ≈ 0.8 → reverses Fisher transformation of 0.8 correlation
FISHERINV(-0.2027) // ≈ -0.2 → reverses Fisher transformation of -0.2 correlation
