A computing system and method for selecting a data mining modeling
algorithm. The computing system comprises a computer readable medium and
computing devices electrically coupled through an interface apparatus. A
plurality of different data mining modeling algorithms and test data are
stored on the computer readable medium. Each of the computing devices
comprises a data subset from a plurality of data subsets. A technique is
selected for generating a data mining model applied to each of the data
subsets. Each of the different data mining modeling algorithms is run
simultaneously to generate an associated data mining model on each of the
computing devices. Each of the data mining models is compared to the test
data to determine a best data model. A best data mining modeling
algorithm from the different data mining modeling algorithms is selected
in accordance with the best data mining model.
