Linear Regression

How to perform a linear regression in jamovi:
  1. You need one continuous dependent variable, and at least one continuous predictor variable (aka a covariate).
    A correct setup should look similar to this:

    data_format_regression_linear


  2. Select AnalysesRegressionLinear Regression.

    select_regression_linear


  3. Drag and drop your dependent variable to Dependent Variable and your explanatory variable to Covariates if it is continuous or to Factors if it is categorical.

    add_var_regression_linear


  4. The result is shown in the right panel:

    output_regression_linear
