The Menu

In the Variable tab, you are shown a list view of all the variables in your dataset. This view allows you to easily navigate your variables and do the following:

• Search for a variable by scrolling through the list or search for one by name.

• Edit the variable names and descriptions by double-clicking in the relevant field.

• Edit your variable details by double-clicking on the data symbol - the screen will appear for you to add all the necessary information.

• Create a new variable by clicking on the + in the bottom right corner.

In the Data tab, you can explore your raw data, which is organised like Excel in rows and columns. This tab allows you to manipulate your data and get your dataset ready for use. Specifically, this tab allows you to do the following:

• Rename and add details to existing variables. Click on the Setup button, or double-click on the variable you want to manage.

• Compute and transform variables

• Add and/or Delete variables (columns)

• Add Filters

• Add and/or Delete Rows 

You can easily copy and paste data from an Excel file or another Jamovi dataset.

You will spend most of your time in the Analyses Tab. From the top bar, you will select your test. The following six modules are pre-installed:

• Exploration

• T-Test

• ANOVA

• Regression

• Frequencies

• Factor

All other modules need to be installed using the Modules button in your top-right.

Once you have selected the Analyses tab, the screen will be split. On the left, you will see the controls for your test. Here you can drag and drop your variables and select the output you want to display. On the right, you will see your test results.

In the edit tab, you can add additional information to your results. This can be important if you want someone else to know why, what and how you have been doing something. This is also helpful when you export your results to share them. 

The controls are very similar to what you would find in Word (though there are fewer options). 

Note, you cannot edit the output.
