A determination apparatus generates an interval vector having a plurality of components that are adjacent occurrence intervals between a plurality of events that have occurred in chronological order. The determination apparatus generates a plurality of local variable points each of which includes specific components as one set of coordinates, using a predetermined number of consecutive interval vectors in the chronological order. The determination apparatus generates a Betti sequence by applying persistent homology transform to the plurality of local variable points for which the interval vectors serving as starting points are different. The determination apparatus determines a type of the plurality of events based on the Betti sequence.
