Hi David, I hope all is well w/ you. Co-operation beetwen R and
Ox would be most welcome. A possible problem lies in the fact that,
although free for academic use, Ox is not open source. I too have
been using Ox for computer-intensive programming. I also code some
of my programs in C, but I always try Ox first, and in most cases
it is efficient enough. For details, see
http://www.de.ufpe.br/~cribari/ox.pdf
and also
Cribari-Neto, F. (1997). Econometric Programming Environments:
GAUSS, Ox and S-PLUS. Journal of Applied Econometrics, 12,
77-89.
and
Cribari-Neto, F. & Zarkos, S.G. (1999). R: yet another econometric
programming environment. Journal of Applied Econometrics, 14,
319-329.
The latter contains a brief speed comparison between R and Ox.
Econometrically,
Francisco

Subject: [R] R and Ox?
Is there a good way to organize co-operation between R and Ox?
(incidentally, Ox is at http://www.nuff.ox.ac.uk/Users/Doornik/)
