## Summary

In the field of statistics, optimal designs are crucial for conducting efficient experiments. One approach to calculating D-optimal designs for certain models is through the use of canonical moments. However, in this paper by Hiroto Sekido, a new method is proposed that utilizes discrete integrable systems and their relationship with canonical moments to calculate D-optimal designs for polynomial regression models with prior information. Integrable systems are dynamical systems whose solutions can be explicitly written down. By leveraging this property along with canonical moments, Sekido presents an algorithm for calculating D-optimal designs for polynomial regression models. The algorithm is then applied to several examples to demonstrate its effectiveness and potential applications in various fields where efficient statistical experiments are necessary. This paper offers a novel approach to calculating optimal experimental designs that takes advantage of the properties of integrable systems and their relationship with canonical moments.
