# AlgorithmParameters Element (ASSL)
  Contains the collection of parameters for the algorithm used by a [MiningModel](../../../analysis-services/scripting/objects/miningmodel-element-assl.md) element.  
  
## Syntax  
  
```xml  
  
<MiningModel>  
   ...  
   <AlgorithmParameters>  
      <AlgorithmParameter>...</AlgorithmParameter>  
   </AlgorithmParameters>  
   ...  
</MiningModel>  
```  
  
## Element Characteristics  
  
|Characteristic|Description|  
|--------------------|-----------------|  
|Data type and length|None (collection)|  
|Default value|None (collection)|  
|Cardinality|0-1: Optional element that can occur once and only once.|  
  
## Element Relationships  
  
|Relationship|Element|  
|------------------|-------------|  
|Parent element|[MiningModel](../../../analysis-services/scripting/objects/miningmodel-element-assl.md)|  
|Child elements|[AlgorithmParameter](../../../analysis-services/scripting/objects/algorithmparameter-element-assl.md)|  
  
## Remarks  
 The **AlgorithmParameters** collection contains an extensible set of parameters, represented as name/value pairs, for a mining model algorithm. The set of applicable parameters is algorithm-dependent. For more information about algorithm parameters for a given algorithm, see the appropriate documentation for that algorithm.  
  
 Available algorithm parameters, including validation and display information, can be retrieved from the DMSCHEMA_MINING_SERVICE_PARAMETERS schema rowset.  
  
 The corresponding element in the Analysis Management Objects (AMO) object model is <xref:Microsoft.AnalysisServices.AlgorithmParameterCollection>.
