VAMP

VAMP, which stands for Variational Approach for Markov Processes, is a mathematical technique used to analyze complex systems that evolve over time—like climate patterns or biological processes. It helps identify the most important dynamic behaviors by breaking down the system into simpler components, called modes, that describe how the system changes. By focusing on these key modes, VAMP provides insights into the system's long-term behavior and its dominant patterns, making it easier to predict future states and understand underlying mechanisms without needing to analyze every detail.
