<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To calculate a degree of similarity with high accuracy, taking into account a control plan. <P>SOLUTION: A calculation device 10 draws up a first control plan for each of a plurality of longitudinal data and draws up a second control plan for a combination of the plurality of longitudinal data. For each of the plurality of longitudinal data, the calculation device 10 calculates a first evaluation value when the created first control plan is executed. For each of the plurality of longitudinal data, the calculation device 10 calculates a second evaluation value when the created second control plan is executed. The calculation device 10 calculates a degree of similarity such that the smaller the difference between the calculated first evaluation value and the calculated second evaluation value is, the larger the degree of similarity among the plurality of longitudinal data is. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
