Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) A mathematical model for predicting the user satisfaction of a speech dialogue systems is studied based on a field trial of a voice-navigated music retrieval system.
The {\em Subjective} Word Accuracy (\sWA), of the user is introduced as a background psychometrics for the satisfaction.
In the field test, \sWA is collected through questionnaires together with satisfactory indexes and various user profiles.
First we show that the \sWA is more significant to the user satisfactory than ({\em Objective}) Word Accuracy (\oWA), which is calculated using the manually given transcriptions for the recorded dialogue.
Then through top-down clustering of the joint distribution of {\it subjective}- and {\it objective}-WAs, we show that the user population can be grouped into several sub-groups in terms of sensitivity to recognition accuracy.
The lower bound of the \oWA for the given \sWA is also calculated from the joint distribution.
Finally, a graphical model is build that predicts the user satisfactory index from user profiles and reduces the distribution uncertainty of user satisfaction by 13\% of its variance.
