Fisher Transformations for Correlations Corrected for Selection and Missing Data.

Mendoza, Jorge L.

Psychometrika, v58 n4 p601-15 Dec 1993

A Fisher's Z transformation is developed for the corrected correlation for conditions when the criterion data are missing because of selection on the predictor and when the criterion was missing at random, not because of selection. The two Z transformations were evaluated in a computer simulation and found accurate. (SLD)
