I’ve been working on a set of PSPP web pages here: https://knassen.github.io/personal-tech/pspp/pspp.html
I started this page in early April 2026 with goals to clear up a lot of the misinformation about what pspp can and cannot do, and to give some practical examples people can actually run. The original page grew very large, so I split it into several more-focused pages. There are 6 pages currently. All examples are real PSPP or psppire commands (the data is made up). You can copy them directly into PSPP to test them -- that's how I verify everything. The pages cover: * Basic data reading and transformations * Running commands in the PSPP Syntax Editor * Combining and merging data * Exploratory data analysis * Inferential and modeling procedures * Reading multi-record data * Using PSPP’s MATRIX command (still developing) * And more I cover both psppire and command-line PSPP. The goal isn’t to document every command, but to give enough examples to help people get unstuck and understand how PSPP works in practice. The page includes workflow tips and general tips for PSPP programming. Every page has an index at the bottom of the page with links to all the other pages, so no matter where you enter the site, you can jump to any topic. The content is solid, I think, and I'm continually improving accuracy, usefulness, and tweaking phrases. I hope you find these pages useful. Kent
