Measure Dependence Between Categorical and Continuous Variables
Description
Semi-distance and mean-variance (MV) index are proposed to measure the dependence between a categorical random variable and a continuous variable. Test of independence and feature screening for classification problems can be implemented via the two dependence measures. For the details of the methods, see Zhong et al. (2023) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2023.2284988>; Cui and Zhong (2019) <doi:10.1016/j.csda.2019.05.004>; Cui, Li and Zhong (2015) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2014.920256>.
