I am trying to estimate an ordinal logistic regression with clustered standard errors on subject level using the MASS package's polr() function. (My dependent variable is ordinal with three factors, treatment is a dummy, randinterval is integer, period is integer, male is a dummy) Standard errors are clustered at the level of the individual subject via SubjectID. I already saw a similar thread here (R: Clustering standard errors in MASS::polr()), however I have noticed that the output only includes SE for the coefficients but not for the cut-off points from the ordered probit regression. So far, my code looks like this:

oprobit <- polr(factor(frequency) ~ treatment + randinterval  + period  + male , 
                data=my_data, method = "probit", Hess = T)

summary(oprobit)

Call:
polr(formula = factor(frequency) ~ treatment + randinterval + 
    period + male, data = my_data, Hess = T, 
    method = "probit")

Coefficients:
                Value Std. Error t value
treatment     0.05849   0.064516  0.9065
randinterval -0.05419   0.028686 -1.8890
period       -0.01289   0.007973 -1.6163
male          0.01108   0.067770  0.1635

Intercepts:
    Value   Std. Error t value
0|1 -0.8934  0.1290    -6.9234
1|2 -0.3580  0.1278    -2.8009

Residual Deviance: 2686.905 
AIC: 2698.90

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

oprobit_subj_1 <- coeftest(oprobit, vcovCL, type='HC0', cluster=~SubjectID)

print(oprobit_subj_1, digits=3)

t test of coefficients:
             Estimate Std. Error t value Pr(>|t|)
treatment     0.05849    0.14225    0.41     0.68
randinterval -0.05419    0.03428   -1.58     0.11
period       -0.01289    0.00845   -1.53     0.13
male          0.01108    0.14561    0.08     0.94

To the best of my knowledge, STATA does include the cut-off points via the following function:

oprobit frequency treatment randinterval period male, vce(cluster SubjectID)

Is there a way to include the SE for the intercepts (= cut-off points (0|1, 1|2)) in R via MASS as well?

Thanks for your help in advance!
