Original Abstract Submitted

An indicator selection apparatus () includes an acquisition unit () and a selection unit (). The acquisition unit () acquires information (hereinafter, described as category variable specification information) that specifies a category variable. The selection unit () selects a support variable from among the plurality of indicators described above for each category variable. Specifically, the selection unit () generates a first model by performing machine learning by using a combination (combination variable) of the category variable and the support variable as an explanatory variable and using an evaluation result of an evaluation target as an objective variable. Then, a first influence degree is generated for each of a plurality of the combination variables. The first influence degree indicates magnitude of an influence of the combination variable on accuracy of the first model. Then, the selection unit () selects a support variable by using the first influence degree.
