Hi all
I am conducting a meta analysis of pearsons r correlations but I have a study with a spearmans rank correlation. I was converting the pearsons correlations into fishers z scores to conduct the meta analysis , then to be converted back into correlations, but I am wondering if I am able to do this with a spearmans rank correlation? Can I use the same calculator as for a pearsons r > fishers z score?
Also in order to correct for range restriction within all the data from various articles , is there some form of data I should be seeking from those articles or can I calculate this in some other way?
Thanks
