Abstract
A data processing device for processing time-sequence data includes a data extracting unit extracting time-sequence data for a predetermined time unit from time-sequence data; and a processing unit obtaining scores for nodes of an SOM configured from multiple nodes provided with a spatial array configuration, the scores showing applicability to time-sequence data for a predetermined time unit thereof. The node with the best score is determined to be the winning node which is the node most applicable. The processing unit obtains scores as to the time-sequence data for one predetermined time unit, regarding a distance-restricted node wherein distance from the winning node as to the time-sequence for a predetermined time unit immediately preceding the time-sequence data of one predetermined time unit is within a predetermined distance. The distance-restricted node with the best the score is determined to be the winning node.
