Calculated result
When to use
Estimate power for a two-sided Pearson correlation test using Fisher z.
Formula or algorithm
Fisher z effect=atanh(rho); the standardized alternative has noncentrality sqrt(n-3)*|atanh(rho)|.
Assumptions and limits
Use the variable scales and sampling design required by this named statistical method. Review missing values, independence or pairing, outliers, and distribution or model assumptions before interpretation. Confirm that the selected dependent, independent, grouping, time, item, rater, or matrix variables match the research design.

Data Import and Variable Requirements
Upload XLSX, CSV, TSV, TXT, JSON, or pasted data where applicable; inspect cleaning, select the required variable roles, and review mapped inputs before calculation. For Correlation Power Calculator, map Expected population correlation, Sample size, Alpha from the cleaned browser-local table; every mapped variable remains editable before calculation, and the active dataset remains available while you work with this selected test and when you return to the Test Finder.
Uploaded files are processed locally in the browser. The cleaning report appears before variable selection, and the selected cleaned columns are mapped to this exact calculator rather than a generic fallback.

How to Use This Workspace
- Confirm that the method matches the quantity, hypothesis, model or planning question you need to solve.
- Enter values with compatible units and the requested sample, group, matrix, count, date or option format.
- Use Example Data to inspect a valid input layout, or enter your own values and run the calculation.
- Review the result table, formula, substitutions, warnings and interpretation rather than relying only on the headline number.
- Copy, download or print the result when you need a reusable analysis record.
Understanding and Reporting the Result
Interpret the estimate, uncertainty, test statistic, p-value, effect size, and diagnostics for the selected variables and design. In the Correlation Power Calculator result workspace, interpret Expected Correlation, Sample Size, Fisher Z Effect, Noncentrality, Power together with the method assumptions, warning messages, confidence information, effect magnitude, and diagnostic plots shown for the selected variables.
Planning assumptions should be justified before data collection; attrition, clustering, unequal allocation, and multiplicity may require a larger design.
Keep the entered values, units, selected options and any warning shown beside the result. For a hypothesis test, report the statistic, degrees of freedom where applicable, p-value, alpha level, effect size and decision. For an estimate or conversion, report the formula convention and final unit.
How to Report the Result
Report the method, selected variables, sample information, estimate or statistic, uncertainty, p-value when applicable, and practical conclusion. A reproducible Correlation Power Calculator report should identify the mapped variables, valid observations, exclusions or missing-data handling, selected options, principal outputs, uncertainty, diagnostics, and the practical conclusion supported by the analysis.
Accuracy and Limitations
The calculator keeps full browser precision during calculation and rounds only for display. Accuracy still depends on correct inputs and on whether the displayed model represents the real problem. Educational calculators cannot replace required professional review, current official rules, field measurements, laboratory methods or specialist statistical software where those are necessary.
