Provides a diagnostic apparatus for diagnosing a measured object based on
time-series data of a plurality of parameters measured from the measured
object. An example of an apparatus includes a change-point score
calculating portion for calculating a time-series change-point score with
which each of the plurality of parameters changes according to passage of
time based on the time-series data on the parameter, a change-point
correlation calculating portion for calculating a change-point
correlation indicating strength by which each of the plurality of
parameters is associated with each of other parameters based on the
change-point scores of the parameter and the other parameter, and a
parameter outputting portion for outputting a set of parameters of which
calculated degrees of associations are higher than a predetermined
reference change-point correlation as a set of mutually strongly
associated parameters.
