The decision between the children of each center and itself is done comparing the BIC-values of the two structures.

For more information see:

Dan Pelleg, Andrew W.Moore: X-means: Extending K-means with Efficient Estimation of the Number of Clusters.

In: Seventeenth International Conference on Machine Learning, 727-734, 2000.

(based on WEKA 3.7)
