Hello. I am hoping that my question can be answered by a statistical
expert out there!! (which I am not). I am carrying out a multiple linear
regression with two independents. It seems that a square root
transformation of the dependent variable effectively decreases
heterocscedasticity

there is nothing from stopping you (is there?) trying several methods that
are seen as sensible possibilities ... and seeing what happens?
of course, you might find a transformational algorithm that works BEST (of
those you try) with the data you have but ... A) that still might be an
optimal
