hi, Is there a way to automatically perform permutation combination of specified rows in stata. I have data on the list of participants for bunch of deals. Here is how my data is currently:
Deal_1, participant_1
Deal_1, participant_2
Deal_1, participant_3
Deal_1, participant_4
Deal_2, participant_11
Deal_2, participant_12
Here is what I want the data to appear as:
participant_1, participant_2
participant_1, participant_3
participant_1, participant_4
participant_2, participant_3
participant_2, participant_4
participant_3, participant_4
participant_11, participant_12
Basically I want to show the ties between participants of deals. Hence I need the permutation combinations of all participants in each deal. Is there a way to automate this at least to a certain extent in stata?
Thank you so much for your help
