How to detect multicollinearity in categorical variables using R?

The multicollinearity is the term is related to numerical variables. It means that independent variables are linearly correlated to each other and they are numerical in nature. The categorical variables are either ordinal or nominal in nature hence we cannot say that they can be linearly correlated.

Example

Consider the below data frame −

 Live Demo

x<-sample(LETTERS[1:4],30,replace=TRUE)
y<-sample(letters[1:4],30,replace=TRUE)
response<-rnorm(30)
df<-data.frame(x,y,response)
df

Output

   x  y   response
1  C  c   0.742577646
2  C  b   0.151037885
3  A  d   0.872867986

Have a look at the categorical columns and think about how we can find correlation between those columns.
