Dear Eelke,
Thank you so much for your kind reply.
If I understood your comment correctly, then a positive cluster means high(1)<low(2)<no(3) and a negative cluster means high(1)>low(2)>no(3), is it right?
Thank you again!
Best,
Kyoungeun

Dear Lee Kyoung Eun,
ft_statfun_depsamplesregrT assigns no special meaning to the values of your regressor, i.e. it uses them exactly as you put in. So, a positive t-statistic reflects a positive regression coefficient, which means the dependent variable is positively associated with the regressor. In your case, if high=1, low=2, no=3, then a negative cluster means no>low>high.
Best,
Eelke
