The first plot shows the best inertia reached for each combination of the model (``KMeans`` or ``MiniBatchKMeans``), and the init method (``init="random"`` or ``init="k-means++"``) for increasing values of the ``n_init`` parameter that controls the number of initializations. The second plot demonstrates one single run of the ``MiniBatchKMeans`` estimator using a ``init="random"`` and ``n_init=1``. This run leads to a bad convergence (local optimum), with estimated centers stuck between ground truth clusters. The dataset used for evaluation is a 2D grid of isotropic Gaussian clusters widely spaced. ..
