It might be a total overkill but I would reshape the dataset in the long-format and would use the -sq- (from ssc) program to identify the sequences with the same elements. For example with the inbuild se-option (same elements).

Betreff: st: Finding the Most Common Combinations
Hello,
I have a dataset where each observation is a person and there are 5 variables for each of their health insurance plans. That is, PLAN1-PLAN5 each take on a number corresponding to a type of health insurance plan. My question is how I would go about finding the most combination of plans since the order in which they are reported is completely arbitrary (that is, PLAN1 does not correspond to the "first" plan, just the first one they reported).
I am using Stata 11.
Thank you,
Zach Levin
