Abstract: Summary Prolog is a logic programming language for symbolic manipulation. Prolog is able to perform universal pattern matching, which is called unification, and backtracking search by indeterministic execution. These features enable simple description of complex statistical model structures and manipulations. I will show some examples of Prolog applications in statistical model handling. They show potential importance of symbolic manipulation in statistical computation.
