Article Description

We propose an accelerated version of the holonomic gradient descent and apply it to calculating the maximum likelihood estimate (MLE) of the Fisher-Bingham distribution on a d-dimensional sphere. We derive a Pfaffian system (an integrable connection) and a series expansion associated with the normalizing constant with an error estimation. These enable us to solve some MLE problems up to dimension d=7 with a specified accuracy. © 2013 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
