Abstract
The present paper studies the normality of five transformations suggested in the literature to normalize the sample correlation coefficient. The parent populations are the bivariate t and the bivariate X 2The results in the previous work of Subrahmaniam and Gajjar are exploited to assess their performance. The density estimation procedure of Tarter and Kronmal is used to provide empiric support to the asymptotic resultsKeywords
