Introduction to Ox: An Object-Oriented Matrix Language.

Introduction to Ox™ first introduces the Ox environment. Syntax, operators, program flow and program design are discussed and illustrated using econometric examples. Next we describe how to input and output data, how to generate graphics and how to present results using string operators and print formats. Finally we discuss the use and generation of Ox classes for object oriented programming, including a database class for time series data and a simulation class for statistical models. By working through the hands-on examples, readers will acquire an adequate level of Ox knowledge within a couple of days
