This function estimates the number of clusters through a bootstrapping approach, and a measure Smin, which is based on an observation-wise similarity among clusterings. The number of clusters k is selected as the largest number of clusters, for which the Smin is greater than a threshold. The threshold is often selected between 0.8 ~ 0.9. Two schemes are provided. Scheme 1 uses the clustering of the original data as the reference for stability calculations. Scheme 2 searches acrossthe clustering samples that gives the most stable clustering.
