I would be very grateful if you would tell me how I can find the degree of correlation between a nominal dependent variable and an independent ordinal variable. The nominal variable has only two levels: YES and NO. thank you very much in advance regards, merlin ---------------------------------------------------------------- -- Este mensaje le ha llegado mediante el servicio de correo electronico que ofrece Infomed para respaldar el cumplimiento de las misiones del Sistema Nacional de Salud.

Wrong list. This list is about programming in R, not statistics. Try stats.stackexchange.com instead for statistics questions.

Any of the usual rank correlation methods should be fine if you're expecting a monotonic relationship e.g. Spearman's rho or Kendall's tau.

I found a hetcor function in the polycor package. Another method might be to use the lrm function in the rms package. It supports proportional odds ordinal logistic regression models.
