Abstract

A method for prediction executed by an information processing device includes: training a neural network model based on actual data on a prediction target; and predicting an objective factor related to the prediction target based on explanatory factors related to the prediction target by the neural network model. The neural network model includes an input layer, an intermediate layer, and an output layer, and a coefficient of an activation function of the intermediate layer is larger than a coefficient of an activation function of the output layer.
