Abstract: In a prediction system, a first prediction section predicts a numerical value in a second period including a future period based on input data including numerical data at least in a first period in the past. A second prediction section acquires the input data used by the first prediction section, a numerical value in the second period predicted by the first prediction section, and change information indicative of chancre of the input data, predicts at least part of numerical values in the second period by performing a prediction process whose calculation amount is small based on at least part of changed input data based on the change information, and outputs results of the predictions by the first prediction section and second prediction section. Where the change of the input data is effective, the first prediction section predicts numerical values in the second period based on the changed input data.
