Mean-field theory: Applications & Products

In physics and probability theory, mean-field theory (MFT) or self-consistent field theory studies the behavior of high-dimensional random (stochastic) models by studying a simpler model that approximates the original by averaging over degrees of freedom (the number of values in the final calculation of a statistic that are free to vary). Such models…
