Estimating system, electronic apparatus, and estimating method

An electronic apparatus, comprising

• an estimator that obtains an estimated value of power consumption caused when the electronic apparatus executes a job, using a power consumption estimating model that is a regression model used to estimate the power consumption, wherein
• the regression model is created by a decision tree algorithm,
• a target variable of the regression model represents the power consumption,
• an explanatory variable of the regression model represents execution information regarding execution of a job, set-value information regarding a set value for a state of the electronic apparatus, and time information regarding a time taken for the job or duration of the state, and
• there exists a plurality of the explanatory variables of the regression model depending on a type of a setting for the job or the state of the electronic apparatus.

An estimating method that is performed by an estimating program being executed by a control circuit of an electronic apparatus, the estimating method comprising

• obtaining an estimated value of power consumption caused when the electronic apparatus executes a job, using a power consumption estimating model that is a regression model used to estimate the power consumption, wherein
• the regression model is created by a decision tree algorithm,
• a target variable of the regression model represents the power consumption,
• an explanatory variable of the regression model represents execution information regarding execution of a job, set-value information regarding a set value for a state of the electronic apparatus, and time information regarding a time taken for the job or duration of the state, and
• there exists a plurality of the explanatory variables of the regression model depending on a type of a setting for the job or the state of the electronic apparatus.
