Random-effects meta-analysis of correlations: Monte Carlo evaluation of mean estimators.
Hafdahl Adam R·The British journal of mathematical and statistical psychology
Several authors have cautioned against using Fisher's z-transformation in random-effects meta-analysis of correlations, which seems to perform poorly in some situations, especially with substantial inter-study heterogeneity. Attributing this performance largely to the direct z-to-r transformation (DZRT) of Fisher z res…
