The present invention provides an analysis model generating method for
generating an analysis model expressed using a Bayesian network. A
analysis model generating method includes selecting a child variable to
be added to the analysis model; selecting a plurality of variable
candidates to be added to the analysis model as parent variables in
causal relationships with the child variable; judging whether each of
values indicating the causal relationships between the selected variable
candidates and the child variable is high or low, based on the causal
relationships between the variable candidates and the child variable;
generating an aggregated variable different from the variable candidates
by aggregating a plurality of low causal variable candidates; and putting
high causal variable candidate and the aggregated variable into the
analysis model as the parent variables to the child variable.
