Approach 1. We will use several egen commands to create dyad IDs. First, we will create two variables using egen with the group option on team, rater, and ratee in different orders. egen with group takes a list of variables and orders and numbers the combinations of the variable values.e can then again use egen with group on the minimum to have a dyad ID variable that does not skip integer values (as we can see will happen if we just use the minimum as our ID variable). To see how many unique dyads appear in your data, you can use the codebook command to see the number of unique values.
