Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Then main terms of the free energy in singular models are obtained by a resolution map of Kullback function's singularities. In the Bays method, mean field approximations are widely used for approximating the posterior distributions. In general, the free energies of the posterior functions and its mean field approximations are different. In this paper, we consider the mean field approximation of normal crossing functions and show that main terms corresponding to learning coefficients have the same order.
