Abstract
A diagnostic device which detects a fault and estimates its cause on the basis of the degree of variation of each attribute of data containing a plurality of attributes obtained by measuring a diagnosis subject. A diagnosis subject variation degree pattern generation means (110) calculates the degree of variation of each attribute of the diagnosis subject data containing the attributes obtained by measuring the diagnosis subject and generates a diagnosis subject variation degree pattern which is a combination of the degrees of variation of the attributes. A reference variation degree pattern storage device (150) stores a reference variation degree pattern composed of the degrees of variation of the attributes in association with the type of the fault and the diagnosis event of the type of the cause. A variation degree pattern diagnostic means (120) performs pattern matching of the diagnosis subject variation degree pattern and the reference variation degree pattern in the reference variation degree pattern storage device and diagnoses the diagnosis subject.
