Abstract

For each page set contained in a hypertext and with reference to access history information, a hyperlink transition frequency acquiring unit calculates a transition frequency between the pages (i.e., a hyperlink) of the page set. An attribute extracting unit extracts an attribute from each page in the hypertext. In a correlation analyzing unit there is calculated a correlation between the transition frequency of the hyperlink and the attribute. When a predetermined page set is given as an object of analysis, the attribute extracting unit extracts an attribute, and in an attribute analyzing unit the attribute is compared with a multiple regression expression stored in a correlation data storing unit. The resulting correlation expression is displayed in a display unit. According to this configuration it is possible to show a cause of a problem involved in the page configuration of a hypertext system, present a remedial measure, and improve the page configuration easily.
