Abstract:
Provided is an apparatus which selects desired explanatory variables from a plurality of candidate explanatory variables in a statistical model that expresses, by a predetermined function, a relationship between a linear predictor and an expectation value of a response variable or a probability of the response variable having certain values, by using a variable selecting model that expresses the linear predictor as a sum of a constant and a linear combination of the candidate explanatory variables and their corresponding coefficients, the apparatus including a sign condition acquisition unit for acquiring sign conditions for at least one of the coefficients; an estimator for calculating an estimate of the respective coefficients and an estimate of the constant under the sign conditions, using plural data; and a selection unit for selecting, as the desired explanatory variable, the candidate explanatory variable corresponding to the coefficient of which the estimate is calculated to be non-zero.

Claim (Index 16):
The program according to  claim 13 , further comprising between the sign condition acquisition step and the estimation step, a constraint acquisition step for acquiring predetermined constraints that define at least one of upper and lower limits for every possible value of at least one of the coefficients,\n wherein the estimation step comprises a step of calculating an estimate of the respective coefficients and an estimate of the constant under the sign conditions and the constraints.
