Generating a binomial random variable correlated with a normalrandom variable

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

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

Hi All:
I would like to generate a binomial random variable that correlates 
with a
normal random variables with a specified correlation. Off course, 
the
correlation coefficient would not be same at each run because of 
randomness.
I greatly appreciate your input.
Ashraf
