> k
> INTEGER of INTEGER[]. The number of centroids to calculate.  Can be a single value
> or an array of k values to explore.  If array of k values given, the parameter 'k_selection_algorithm'
> determines the evaluation method.
> {code}
> {code}
> k_selection_algorithm (optional)
> TEXT, default: 'elbow'. Method to evaluate number of centroids k.
> Only applies if the parameter 'k' is an array with multiple k values.
> Currently two approaches are supported: 'elbow', and 'silhouette'. 
> The text can be any subset of the strings; for e.g., 'silh' will use the silhouette method.
