Publication number: 20230177392Abstract: In a data estimation device, a learning unit creates, using training data including an explanatory variable and an objective variable, a machine learning model that estimates an objective variable from an explanatory variable. The learning unit creates a machine learning model Mi that estimates an objective variable Oi from an explanatory variable group Ei including one or more explanatory variables, sets a new explanatory variable group Ei+1 by adding the objective variable Oi estimated by the machine learning model Mi to the explanatory variable group Ei, and creates a machine learning model Mi+1 that estimates an objective variable Oi+1 from the explanatory variable group Ei+1 (where i=1). The learning unit repeatedly creates a machine learning model while i is in a range of from 2 to (n?1) (n is a natural number greater than or equal to 2).Type: ApplicationFiled: June 12, 2020Publication date: June 8, 2023Inventor: Takashi INOMATA
