As described on the below question, there would be no problem with Naive Bayes and continuous and discrete variables together. Or is the dependency something that brakes the rule?

Yes, that question has continuous variables as predictors. However, it has a discrete variable which it wishes to predict. I wish to predict a continuous variable.

# Natural language processing with a continuous dependent variable

(Asked by: username_0 on 2017-12-24)

I have a large number of observations. Each observation contains:

* dependent variable: a scores ranging from 0 - 100
* independent variable: a large article

I want to know which words or phrases predict a higher score.

I know that for discrete dependent variables, Naive Bayes can be used for this task. How do I conduct this analysis with a continuous dependent variable?
