I have a SAS Datasets with multiple equalities: i.e. A=C, B=C etc. and I would like to make concatenate it into one line to A=B=C.

 

For example, IDs in 1 and 2 represent equality in the following dataset:

ID1, ID2;

1,3;

2,3;

1,4;

 

I would like to convert this into:

 

ID1, ID2, ID3 ID4;

1, 2, 3, 4;

 

Would there be a good algorithm to do this?

It sounds like you want search a tree and find out who belong to the same sub-graph .
