Hi all

I am working on k-means algorithm (in R: kmeans( ) ). The R-help advice 
us to try several random start in order to avoid local minimum. Does one 
know if there is a procedure that automaticly run this rerolling and 
select the best partition ? Or any studies that gives clues on the 
number of rerolling ?

Thanks for helping.
