Does anyone know whether there is any option in SPSS to calculate mutual information between the target value (Y) and the independent variables (X) or any other method to check which variabl...

The discussion in this question is the direct cause for me asking this question. The more general reason is the fact that I often have to explain R use to people that are only familiar with SPSS.
