Wanhaiyou,

Here is a brute force way to do this.  Perhaps someone else has a more clever way.

***CODE***
mat A=J(3,6,0)
forvalues i=1/3 {
forvalues j=1/3 {
  if (!mi(v`j'[`i'])) {
    mat A[`i',v`j'[`i']]=1
  }
}
}
matrix list A
***END****

I assume you want to generalize this for larger data sets (otherwise you could just create the matrix manually), which can easily be done with the following modifications:

***CODE***
mat A=J(_N,6,0)
forvalues i=1/`=_N' {
forvalues j=1/3 {
  if (!mi(v`j'[`i'])) {
    mat A[`i',v`j'[`i']]=1
  }
}
}
matrix list A
***END****

This can also be generalized for more variables and a higher maximum column dimension, but that will take more work.

Subject: st: creat the matrix based on the condition

Dear Statalisters,

I have three variables in the dataset as following

clear
input v1  v2  v3
1 3 5
3 4 6
1 2 .
end


I want to creat the linkage matrix based on these variables. 
The result is as following


1 0 1 0 1 0
0 0 1 1 0 1
1 1 0 0 0 0

The max number is 6, so the dimension of matrix is 3*6


Thanks for all suggestions.

Bests,
