Abstract
A user evaluation apparatus includes a parameter determination module which determines parameters of a user evaluation model required to calculate a degree of usage influence so as to maximize a target function. The target function may be defined using weight values, measurement data, and a failure information counting result. The apparatus also includes a user evaluation module which calculates and displays the degree of usage influence using the measurement data and the parameters of the user evaluation model.
