    "Lloyd", "Forgy", "MacQueen"), trace = FALSE) 
{
    oldBIC <- kmeansBIC(kmeans(x, centers, iter.max, nstart, 
        algorithm, trace))
    centers <- centers + 1
    newBIC <- kmeansBIC(kmeans(x, centers, iter.max, nstart, 
        algorithm, trace))
    while (oldBIC > newBIC) {
        oldBIC <- newBIC
        centers <- centers + 1
        newBIC <- kmeansBIC(kmeans(x, centers, iter.max, nstart,
