Alluvial Diagram

[Sam Davidson]

Hello Stata World,
I am struggling to create an alluvial diagram in stata 13. I am interested in the movement of employees between departments. Each department has a location code and each employee has an employee id. I have a file with their location in september of 2012, 2013, 2014 and will have one for 2015 in a few months. What I want to show is the direction of transfers from one department to another. I have played with some web based diagram generators, but want to have a code to run every year that is consistent. Does anyone have any suggestions? Has anyone created a work around to generate Alluvial Diagrams or Sankey Diagrams?

I have not made any headway on this... any thoughts?

No news is bad news. In principle you can do this in Stata, but I don't recollect any canned programs.

Perhaps showing a transition matrix/matrices could be a better idea.

Hi, Sam-

I was wondering if you have made any headway since your last post in this thread. I, too, am looking to create an alluvial diagram in Stata.

It's the same answer from me.

Thank you, Nick. Worth posting in case Sam made a breakthrough in the meantime and had notifications turned on for this thread. Cheers.

There eventually come out several packages doing the work. All these packages are coincidentally released in Novermber and December in 2022. They are -alluvial- & -sankeyplot- wrote by Asjad Naqvi, -sankeyplot- wrote by Maik Hamjediers, and -sankey_plot- wrote by FernandoRios. And another one is -sankey- wrote by Michael Crowther to creates sankey (alluvial) plots using plotly in python. The authors discussed here: https://www.statalist.org/forums/for...in-stata/page2 You can check them by
