Cluster Analysis - Coefficient sign changed

[Alejandro Torres]

Hello, I performed a fracreg analysis and then a cluster analysis, but for the independent variable and the interaction coefficient the sign was inverted in the cluster analysis. Is that normal? was the same doing a multilevel analysis.
Thank you !

You didn't get a quick response. You'll increase your chances of a useful answer by following the FAQ on asking questions - provide Stata code in code delimiters, readable Stata output, and sample data using dataex. Knowing exactly what you ran and what you got would have helped.

I suspect the problem is that clustering does not have a natural sign - reversing coefficient signs may give the same clusters.
