st: Selecting correlations with highest absolute value
Date

In SAS, I was able to quickly determine which pairs of variables were
most highly correlated using the 'best' option with the 'proc corr'
command ("*BEST=*/n ----/**/**/prints */n/* correlation coefficients for
each variable. Correlations are ordered from highest to lowest in
absolute value.) After extensive searching, I have not been able to
locate a Stata command that does something similar.
If this is not possible in Stata, maybe Stata experts have suggestions
for my ultimate purpose: constructing equations to facilitate a smoother
and faster running of Stata's 'ice' command.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Dara Shifrer
