/**
* This operator iterates several times through the inner operators and in each
* cycle evaluates a performance measure. The IOObjects that are produced as
* output of the inner operators in the best cycle are then returned. The target
* of this operator are methods that involve some non-deterministic elements
* such that the performance in each cycle may vary. An example is k-means with
* random intialization.
