Linear regression for non-normal data

Hi there,

I'm trying to conduct multiple linear regression, but my data is non-normal. Is there a way of transforming the data to create normal data using Jamovi? I think it's possible in SPSS, but can't find any instructions for Jamovi. I'm a stats beginner, so any help is massively appreciated!

Thanks,
Asha

there's a range of different ways you can transform your data using the computed variables system:

you can perform log transforms, and similar.
