Object-Oriented Econometrics with Ox

Kulaksizoglu, Tamer (2015): Object-Oriented Econometrics with Ox.

Abstract

This article reviews the object-oriented features of the Ox matrix programming language. We discuss object-oriented programming in general and give econometric examples coded in Ox. We also discuss some useful built-in classes that come with the Ox distribution.
