Normality of Error The error (not the data!) is assumed to be normally distributed So, the residuals should be normally distributed
xmdl = lm(y ~ x) hist(residuals(xmdl)) ✔
qqnorm(residuals(xmdl)) qqline(residuals(xmdl)) ✔
qqnorm(residuals(xmdl)) qqline(residuals(xmdl)) ✗

Homoskedasticity of Error The error (not the data!) is assumed to have equal variance across the predicted values So, the residuals should have equal variance across the predicted values
WHAT TO IF NORMALITY/HOMOSKEDASTICITY IS VIOLATED? Either: nothing + report the violation Or: report the violation + transformations
Two types of transformations LinearTransformations NonlinearTransformations Leave shape of the distributionintact (centering, scaling) Do change the shape of the distribution
After transformation Still bad…. …. but better!!
