  • Publication number: 20230050451
    Abstract: A processing unit includes a contribution-degree calculation unit configured to calculate contribution degrees that indicate respective degrees by which a plurality of attribute items included as predetermined attributes of one target contribute to a predicted intervention effect, the calculating being performed on a basis of an estimation model for estimating the predicted intervention effect from the predetermined attributes of the one target. The predicted intervention effect on the one target is a numerical value corresponding to an increase in gain to a beneficiary, the gain being expected to be larger in a case where an intervention is implemented to the one target than in a case where the intervention is unimplemented to the one target.
