Hey guys,
I was hoping that you guys could point me in the right direction with my problem.

I have a table with multiple other variables which I believe to have an impact on variable x. I need to know which of these other variables have the strongest impact on variable x. X = 0 or 1. I believe a correlation coefficient is the correct metric that I need but I'm not sure how to program it to a bit variable?

Any help is appreciated!
 
Sure,
in the following, variables a, b, c, d, e are potential indicators for variable X = 1. I'd like to know which one of them or which combination of them is most likely to result in X = 1

X a b c d e
1 1 1 1 1 1
1 1 0 0 0 0
0 1 0 1 0 0
0 1 1 0 1 1
0 0 1 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0
1 0 0 1 0 0
0 1 1 1 1 1
0 1 0 0 1 1
1 0 0 0 0 0
0 1 0 0 0 0


This is a very simple examply of my problem.. I hope that it makes sense?
