#' Perform a hierarchical model fit with multiple starting values
#'
#' The purpose of this method is to check if a certain algorithm for fitting
#' nonlinear hierarchical models (also known as nonlinear mixed-effects models)
#' will reliably yield results that are sufficiently similar to each other, if
#' started with a certain range of reasonable starting parameters. It is
#' inspired by the article on practical identifiabiliy in the frame of nonlinear
#' mixed-effects models by Duchesne et al (2021).
#'
#' In case the online version of this help page contains error messages
#' in the example code and no plots, this is due to the multistart method
#' not working when called by pkgdown. Please refer to the
#' [online vignette](https://pkgdown.jrwb.de/mkin/dev/articles/web_only/multistart.html)
#' in this case.
#'
#' @param object The fit object to work with
#' @param n How many different combinations of starting parameters should be
#' used?
#' @param cores How many fits should be run in parallel (only on posix platforms)?
#' @param cluster A cluster as returned by [parallel::makeCluster] to be used
#'   for parallel execution.
#' @param \dots Passed to the update function.
#' @param x The multistart object to print
#' @return A list of [saem.mmkin] objects, with class attributes
#' 'multistart.saem.mmkin' and 'multistart'.
#' @seealso [parhist], [llhist]
