    Abstract: An interface receives time series data including multiple observed values of an observed parameter that are acquired at different time points for obtaining physiological information of a subject. A processor inputs the time series data into a prediction model to perform prediction of one or more unobserved values of the observed parameter. The processor causes an output device to visualize a range within which the one or more unobserved values may fall. The range is changed in accordance with a time interval between the different time points.
