What is Ox?

Ox is an object-oriented statistical system. At its core, there is a powerful matrix language, complemented by a comprehensive statistical library. Ox's special  features  include well-designed speed, syntax and editor and graphical installations. Ox  can read and write many data formats, including spreadsheets and OxMetrics  files; Ox can run most of Gausstm's econometric programs.

Ox supported data file formats

Ox can read (and write) the following data files directly into an array:

• .mat (ASCII array file),
• .dat (ASCII data file with upload information),
• .in7 (PcGive 7 data file, with data in .bn7 file),
• .xls (spreadsheet file in old Excel format),
• .xlsx (Excel 2007 and latest spreadsheet or workbook file),
• .csv (comma-separated data file),
• .dht (Gauss data file, with data in the .dat),
• .fmt (Gauss matrix file).
• .dta (Stata data file, versions 4-6 and 11).

Data files are loaded into an array using the loadmat () function. Alternatively, the Database class can be used to upload data files with sample period and variable names. The database role is Load.
