Analysis of variance? aov()? R^2? It seems to me, though, that there are many possible answers, and this really doesn't have much to do with R because R could implement them all. It may matter whether the discrete variable is ordered or not, whether it is fixed or random, what the error distributions of the continuous variable look like, what measures of association are traditional in your field, etc. etc. Jon -- Jonathan Baron, Professor of Psychology, University of Pennsylvania Home page: http://www.sas.upenn.edu/~baron R search page: http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/ ______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
