Abstract

A diagnostic device includes a storage unit that stores first information including a first abnormal event which occurred in the past in a plant, a first attribution event that is a cause of the first abnormal event, and a first occurrence probability of the first attribution event, in which a causal relationship between the first abnormal and attribution events is indicated by a tree structure, and second information including a second abnormal event which is supposed to occur in the plant but has not yet occurred, a second attribution event that is a cause of the second abnormal event, and a second occurrence probability of the second attribution event, in which a causal relationship between the second abnormal and attribution events is indicated by a tree structure; and an estimation unit that estimates the cause of the sign of the abnormality, based on the first and second information.
