Additionally, there is no known method for estimating the time at which other events occur between two or more events. Provided is an information processing apparatus including a target information obtaining section that obtains known event information relating to at least one known event that has occurred for a target; an information processing apparatus that obtains statistical data relating to events; and an event information generating section that generates unknown event information relating to an unknown event of the target, based on the statistical data and the known event information.
