Thanks for your valuable clarifications.
I tried all the steps again but the problem remains.
In fact, "fviz_nbclust" is a function inside the package "factoextra".
I run each step very carefully but the problem remains...It doesn't
make sense because I have installed factoextra.
This warning appears:
could not find function "fviz_nbclust"
