We apply the holonomic gradient method to compute the distribution function of a weighted sum of independent noncentral chi-square random variables. It is the distribution function of the squared length of a multivariate normal random vector. We treat this distribution as an integral of the normalizing constant of the Fisher-Bingham distribution on the unit sphere and make use of the partial differential equations for the Fisher-Bingham distribution.
