1. A computer-implemented data mining system, for use with a data mining training database containing training data, comprising:

  • a memory storing a database having a candidate pool comprising a set of individuals, each candidate individual identifying a plurality of conditions and at least one corresponding consequence to be asserted 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 candidate pool processor which;

    tests individuals from the candidate pool on the training data, each individual being tested undergoing a respective battery of at least one trial and thereby increasing the individual'"'"'s testing experience level, each trial applying the conditions of the respective individual to the training data to assert a consequence,updates the fitness estimate associated with each of the individuals being tested in dependence upon the training data and consequences asserted by the individuals in the testing on the battery of trials;

    wherein the candidate pool processor comprises a competition module which;

    assigns each individual into one of a plurality of testing experience groups in dependence upon the individual'"'"'s testing experience level, andselects an individual from each of at least two of the testing experience groups for discarding from the candidate pool in dependence upon both their testing experience group and a predetermined criteria.
