Dear all,
Let's assume there are only individuals 1 and 2 in my sample. These individuals provide a ranking for objects x,y,z (From 1 to 3) and ties are allowed.
now my desired ranking is to correct for ties, meaning:
I know I can normally get the desired ranking via "egen = rank(rank given)".
However, this does not work for my case because the egen would rank my "rank given" without differentiating between the ranking of individual 1 and that of individual 2.
Any suggestions on how to get my desired ranking?
Thanks!

| Individual id | object ranked | rank given |
| 1 | x | 1 |
| 1 | y | 1 |
| 1 | z | 3 |
| 2 | x | 1 |
| 2 | y | 2 |
| 2 | z | 3 |
| individual id | object ranked | rank given | desired rank |
| 1 | x | 1 | 1.5 |
| 1 | y | 1 | 1.5 |
| 1 | z | 3 | 3 |
| 2 | x | 1 | 1 |
| 2 | y | 3 | 2 |
| 2 | z | 3 | 3 |
