Abstract
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.
