ABSTRACT:
An electronic clinical thermometer for predicting a sensed temperature that will prevail at a future time is equipped with a predetermined predictive functional formula in which values of predetermined coefficient parameters for superimposing the prediction function on a sensed temperature curve are undetermined. Temperature data indicative of sensed body temperature are stored in correlation with elapsed time from the start of measurement, and plural items of the temperature data are read out by a predetermined method as measurement proceeds. By performing regression analysis based on a plurality of the predictive functional formulae, or by solving simultaneous equations constituted by the plurality of predicitve functional formulae, in which the sensed temperature data that have been read serve as purposive variables and functions of time data related to the temperature data serve as explicative variables, the values of the coefficient parameters are set. Prediction processing is executed to calculate sensed temperature that will prevail at a future time in accordance with the predictive functional formula specified by the set values of the coefficient parameters.
