Normalizing transformations of some statistics in multivariate analysis

SADANORI KONISHI

Institute of Statistical Mathematics Tokyo

A general procedure for finding normalizing transformations is applied to various statistics in multivariate analysis. It is shown that Fisher's z transformation for a sample correlation coefficient in a normal sample and Wilson & Hilferty's approximation for a chi-squared variate can be derived by the same line of approach.

Key Words: Canonical correlation • Fisher's z transformation • Latent root • Normalizing transformation • Sample covariance matrix
