Data Exploration Algorithm or Model

Definition
The definition of a data exploration algorithm is a mathematical method of combing a large data set for information. There could be something specific or it could be something unknown. The best known example of this is the Google Search capability.

History
Based on current research, the initial algorithm were created in the 1980s by several different doctorate level computer engineers. Most feel K.A. Dejong is the founder of data exploration from his paper Adaptive systems design: A genetic approach.

Algorithms / Models
This list contains a few of the algorithms and models researched to this point. There are most likely several more that have not been found at this time. There are two types of Data Mining Models, Parametric and Non-Parametric. Below is a list of these two types:

Parametric Model
 * Discriminant Analysis
 * Linear Regression
 * Logistic Regression

Non-Parametric Model
 * Back Propagation
 * Binary Decision Trees
 * CART
 * Genetic Algorithms
 * K Nearest Neighbors
 * K Means Clustering
