Hi community,
I have two small questions about trying to correlate a continuous numeric variable with other variables that are not quantitative in nature:
1) The first case concerns a likert scale. How to correlate a continuous variable with a second variable which is a likert scale (preference scale from 0 to 5 for example)? > can I use Multivariate platform and display spearman coefficient to measure if they are correlated or should I rather carry out and ordinal logistic regression and conclude from this report?
2) The second case concerns a variable which is in reality frequencies. How to correlate a continuous variable with a second variable whose values are frequencies? Should I treat the second variable (frequencies) as continuous or as a ordinal variable ?
Thank you for reading,
Julian
