PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a concentration prediction method allowing fine correction of a signal distorting factor such as noises added while an intrinsic spectrum is obtained.SOLUTION: A concentration prediction method includes: estimating (S101) an in vivo intrinsic spectrum of an analyte; and predicting (S103) the in vivo concentration of the analyte by using a concentration prediction algorithm on the basis of the obtained in vivo intrinsic spectrum and an in vivo spectrum acquired (S102) during a section in which the in vivo concentration of the analyte is not substantially changed.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 7【課題】固有スペクトルの獲得時に付加されるノイズなどの信号歪曲要因を精巧に補正することができる濃度予測方法を提供する。【解決手段】分析物質に対する体内固有スペクトルを推定する段階(S101)と、得られた体内固有スペクトルと、体内で分析物質の濃度が実質的に変わらない区間の間に獲得された体内スペクトル(S102)とを基に濃度予測アルゴリズムを利用して分析物質の体内濃度を予測する段階(S103)とを有する濃度予測方法。【選択図】図7
