A computer utilizes correlation matrix data including a value indicating correlation between indicators and comprises a graph process unit that includes a control factor calculation unit configured to calculate a control factor for generating compressed graph data based on a constraint condition on a process; and a graph generation unit configured to generate graph data from the correlation matrix data by using the control factor. The control factor calculation unit obtains a target process time as the constraint condition; calculates a maximum of a number of edges to be included in the graph data; calculates a threshold for extracting the elements converted from the correlation matrix data to the graph data based on the maximum of the number of edges; and outputs the threshold as the control factor. The graph generation unit extracts the elements from the correlation matrix data based on the threshold, and generates the graph data.
