---++ 4: The main data mining algorithms

One of the aims of the KDD-IG is to build up an [[IvoaKDDCensus][inventory of data mining algorithms that are of use to astronomy]]. We don't attempt to duplicate that here, but instead provide descriptions of some of the most well-known data mining algorithms, many of which have been fairly extensively used in astronomy.

   * Artificial neural network
   * Decision tree
   * Genetic algorithms
   * k nearest neighbor
   * k-means clustering
   * Kernel density estimation
   * Kohonen self-organizing map
   * Independent component analysis
   * Mixture models and EM algorithm
   * Support vector machine
