    Abstract: A data processing device that makes effective use of a data group containing missing data is provided. A series of learning data containing missing data is acquired, and a representative value of data and a validity ratio representing a proportion of valid data being present are calculated from the series of learning data according to a predefined unit of aggregation. Then, learning of an estimation model is performed so as to minimize an error which is based on a difference between an output resulting from inputting the representative value and the validity ratio to the estimation model, and the representative value. Also, a series of estimation data containing missing data is acquired, and a representative value of data and a validity ratio representing a proportion of valid data being present are calculated from the series of estimation data according to a predefined unit of aggregation.
