[R] Generating a binomial random variable correlated with a normalrandom variable

[Dimitris Rizopoulos]

one idea is to consider that the underlying (for ease normally 
distributed) latent variables that produce the Bernoulli trials are 
correlated with your original normal random variable.

I hope it helps.

Best,
Dimitris
