Claim:
1. A server including a processor, comprising: a distribution difference calculator to calculate difference information between a first distribution and a second distribution, the first distribution being a distribution of features calculated from operating data on terminal devices of a first machine type and the second distribution being a distribution of features calculated from operating data on terminal devices of a second machine type wherein the second machine type is different from the first machine type; and a determiner to determine whether a model is applicable to the terminal devices of the first machine type to predict occurrence possibility of a failure in each of the terminal devices of the first machine type on basis of the difference information, wherein the model is generated on basis of operating data of the terminal devices of the second machine type and is configured to predict occurrence possibility of a failure in each of the terminal devices of the second machine type on basis of each of the features calculated from the operating data thereof, wherein the first distribution is a probability distribution of the features calculated from the operating data of the terminal devices of the first machine type, wherein the second distribution is a probability distribution of the features calculated from the operating data of the terminal devices of the second machine type, and wherein the distribution difference calculator calculates a distance between the probability distributions, the distance being the difference information.
