Abstract

We present software packages for the holonomic gradient method (HGM). These packages compute normalizing constants and the probabilities of some regions. While many algorithms which compute integrals over high-dimensional regions utilize the Monte-Carlo method, our HGM utilizes algorithms for solving ordinary differential equations such as the Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg method. As a result, our HGM can evaluate many integrals with a high degree of accuracy and moderate computational time. The source code of our packages is distributed on our web page [12].
