Abstract

The data processing apparatus includes a state series generation unit and a computing unit. The state series generation unit generates a time series data of state nodes from a time series data of event. The state transition model of the event is expressed as a stochastic state transition model. The computing unit computes the parameters for the stochastic state transition model of events by computing parameters of time series data corresponding to an appearance frequency of the state nodes, the appearance frequency of transitions among the state nodes and the like.
