A waveform representing values of time-series data, the time axis of which is configured to set a start time of an operation of the diagnosis target or a changing time of an operation of the diagnosis target as an origin, is obtained as a target waveform. A similarity between a reference waveform representing a normal state or an abnormal state of the diagnosis target and the target waveform is calculated. A state of the diagnosis target is determined based on the similarity.
