Abstract
An optimum similar case extracting condition is automatically determined using a known case aggregate, and the unknown field of an unknown case aggregate is predicted from the known case aggregate using the condition. At this point, the degree of similarity depending on the distribution of the values of the unknown field in the known case aggregate is calculated and a similar case aggregate is extracted based on the degree of similarity. When it is confirmed that the degree of similarity does not satisfy a predetermined condition, the similarity calculation is stopped.
