It's surprising to see some data scientists, even experienced ones, using Pearson's correlation coefficient to measure the relationship between categorical and continuous variables. Pearson correlation measures the linear relationship between two continuous variables. A decoded categorical variable, although it might have numerical values assigned to each category, doesn't represent a continuous scale. The numerical values only serve as labels, not measurements on a linear scale. Check the table below to identify the appropriate method for measuring the relationship 👇👇👇 #datingthescience #datascience #dataanalysis #eda #correlation
