Abstract: In this paper we implement the holonomic gradient method to exactly compute the normalising constant of Bingham distributions. This idea is originally applied for general Fisher-Bingham distributions in Nakayama et al. (2011). In this paper we explicitly apply this algorithm to show the exact calculation of the normalising constant; derive explicitly the Pfaffian system for this parametric case; implement the general approach for the maximum likelihood solution search and finally adjust the method for degenerate cases, namely when the parameter values have multiplicities.
