SEARCH DEVICE, METHOD FOR OPERATING SEARCH DEVICE, OPERATION PROGRAM FOR SEARCH DEVICE, AND FLOW REACTION EQUIPMENT

摘要

Provided are a search device that makes it possible to improve search speed, a method for operating the search device, an operation program for the search device, and flow reaction equipment. A prediction data set generation unit generates a prediction data set configured from a plurality of pieces of prediction data in which explanatory variables for which the values of objective variables are unknown and prediction values for the objective variables are associated using a known data set. A first actual measurement value acquisition unit acquires an actual measurement value for an objective variable included in prediction data in which the prediction value is closest to a target value. An improvement rate calculation unit calculates an improvement rate representing the difference between the actual measurement value and the value of a known objective variable that is closest to the target value. When the improvement rate is equal to or greater than a target improvement rate, a known data set update unit adds the actual measurement value and the value of an explanatory variable corresponding to the actual measurement value to the known data set. When the improvement rate is less than the target improvement rate, a second actual measurement value acquisition unit acquires the actual measurement value of an objective variable for the value of an explanatory value included in prediction data not used in the acquisition of the actual measurement value by the first actual measurement value acquisition unit.
