Typing {cmd:spex} {it:filename} will load the specified example dataset, while typing {cmd:spex} {it:modelname} will estimate that model using data and an example specification from the book. {title:Options} {p 4 8 2}{cmd:web} indicates that the data are to be accessed from their location on the spost website (http://www.indiana.edu/~jslsoc/spostdata/). This is the default. {p 4 8 2}{cmd:user} indicates that the data are to be accessed from the working directory or somewhere else along the user's adopath (somewhere accessible via {cmd:sysuse}). {title:Notes} {p 4 4 2}When specifying an estimation command with spex, you can add other options (e.g., "nolog") and these will be passed along as additional options to the estimation command. {title:Authors} Jeremy Freese and J.
