5 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a generating unit that generates a deployment table through converting the relationship diagram into the deployment table in such a way that a change in an event to be shown in the deployment table tends to increase.
6 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein
the generating unit corrects the relationship diagram in such a way that a causal relationship is maintained and a change in an event to be shown in the deployment table tends to increase, before converting the relationship diagram into the deployment table.
7 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a generating unit that generates the relationship diagram through converting a deployment table into the relationship diagram in accordance with a relationship between events in the relationship diagram.
8 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a storage unit that stores a first term for use in the relationship diagram and a second term for use in a deployment table in association with each other; and
a conversion unit that converts the first or second term into the second or first term by using the storage unit when the relationship diagram or the deployment table is converted into the deployment table or the relationship diagram.
9 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein
the storage unit allows setting of information indicating that the first and second terms are opposite in increase or decrease, and
the conversion unit converts the deployment table or the relationship diagram in such a way that an event occurrence tendency in the deployment table or the relationship diagram as a conversion destination is inversely related to an event occurrence tendency in the relationship diagram or the deployment table as a conversion source when information indicating that the first and second terms are opposite in increase or decrease is set in the storage unit.
10 . A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute information processing, the information processing comprising:
first setting including setting how events in a relationship diagram change;
second setting including setting, with respect to two of the events connected by a relationship line, whether a change in one of the two events is related to a change in another of the two events or there is no specifiable relationship between the changes; and
displaying, according to the second setting, a relationship line in such a way that a relationship line indicating that a change in one event is related to a change in another event is distinguishable from a relationship line indicating that there is no specifiable relationship between a change in one event and a change in another event.
11 . A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute information processing, the information processing comprising:
first setting including setting how events in a relationship diagram change;
second setting including setting, with respect to two of the events connected by a relationship line, whether a tendency of occurrence of one of the two events is similar or opposite to a tendency of occurrence of another of the two events; and
displaying, according to the second setting, a relationship line in such a way that a relationship line indicating that a tendency of occurrence of one event is similar to a tendency of occurrence of another event is distinguishable from a relationship line indicating that a tendency of occurrence of one event is opposite to a tendency of occurrence of another event.
12 . An information processing apparatus comprising:
a display unit that indicates, on a relationship diagram or a deployment table, that the relationship diagram has a causal relationship not expressible in the deployment table, when there is such a causal relationship among causal relationships between events in the relationship diagram.
13 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 12 , further comprising a conversion unit that converts the relationship diagram into the deployment table, wherein
