Abstract: An associated event group preparation unit calculates a degree of association between the events on the basis of an event matrix, and prepares an associated event group for each event. A cause-and-effect relationship model establishment unit establishes a probabilistic cause-and-effect relationship model by a Bayesian network on the basis of the event matrix, for each associated event group.
