[R] correlation b/w a continuous variable and a categorical variable

[Weiwei Shi]

Dear Listers:

I happen to have this question in mind, is there a way to evaluate the
"correlation" between
a continuous variable and a categorical variable (without discretizing
the former)? My intuitive is using lda by considering the latter as
response variable but not sure.

thanks,

weiwei
