On the SAS website, I found this info:
Fisher (1970, p. 199) describes the following practical applications
of the transformation:
testing whether a population correlation is equal to a given
value
testing for equality of two population correlations
combining correlation estimates from different samples
Does it all apply to regression coefficient (r square) too? Could I
apply the Fisher z transformation to rsq and then compare two
transformed rsq, or get a mean transformed rsq from different
samples?
I know proc corr has a new option called Fisher and transforms the
coefficient for you. In the past, I did it by using the formula. I
would use the formula to transform rsq, that would be no problem, if
the the above stated still applies for rsq.
Thanks!
