Cambridge Econometrics Ox Functions Library
We post here some of the Ox functions that we have developed, offering them on an 'as is' basis to other Ox users for use in non-commercial work. The functions have been tested only in a Wintel environment. Although we have tested the functions to our own satisfaction, we take no responsibility for the consequences of any errors that they may contain.
Ox is an object-oriented matrix language designed by Jurgen Doornik for statistical and econometric analysis. See http://www.doornik.com/ for more information about Ox.
DB1 class: a database to store all Ox data types
The DB1 class is designed to store and access all permissible data types in Ox (string, integer, double, array, and array of other data types) under variable names supplied by the user. The data are stored in a binary database file. The database can be interrogated to list information about the variables stored in it.
Download the file OxCEDb.zip and unzip it. Within OxCEDb.zip, the file OxCEDbReadMe.txt contains brief installation instructions. OxCEDb.zip also includes an examples job to illustrate how to use the functions.

CellTable class: a way to import, modify and export tabular data
The CellTable class is designed to create an object that can hold strings, integers and doubles in a 'spreadsheet' format, in which a specific cell is referred to as, for example 0,2 for the first row and third column. It offers a flexible way to read and write data of mixed type (eg a table) to and from csv files and hence to and from spreadsheets.
