Claim:
1. A computer-implemented data mining system, for use with a data mining training database containing training data, comprising: a memory storing a candidate gene database having a pool of candidate individuals, each candidate individual identifying a plurality of conditions and at least one corresponding proposed output in dependence upon the conditions, each candidate individual further having associated therewith an indication of a respective fitness estimate, and an indication of a respective testing experience level; a gene pool processor which: a gene harvesting module providing for deployment selected ones of the individuals from the gene pool, wherein the gene pool processor includes a competition module which selects individuals for discarding from the gene pool in dependence upon their updated fitness estimates, wherein the memory further identifies layer parameters for each of a plurality of gene pool experience layers L wherein each ExpMin(L and wherein in the selection of individuals for discarding, for each j'th one of the layers in the elitist pool, the competition module discards all individuals in the elitist pool which are not among the Quota(L
