 ### Choose the optimal number of clusters
 
+This package includes DynMSC, an algorithm that optimizes the Medoid Silhouette,
+and chooses the "optimal" number of clusters in a range of 2..kmax.
+Beware that if you allow a too large kmax, the optimum result will likely have many
+one-elemental clusters. A too high kmax may mask more desirable results, hence it
+is recommended that you choose only 2-3 times the number of clusters you expect as maximum.
