Hi all,
I have my dependant variable square root transformed. my question is related to the interpretation of the unstandardized regression coefficient. Normally, a unit increase in certain IV would imply an ‘unstandardized regression coefficient’ increase or decrease in the DV. in this case, they would correspond to increase or decrease in the square rooted DV rather than the DV itself. how do I back transform the regression coefficients. do i just square them? is it that simple or is there another way or interpreting them.
PS. only the DV is square root transformed in my case. all IVs (and there are quite a few of them) are in their original form
Regards
Sarah
