The authors present a modified mean field annealing algorithm which supports the combinatorial optimisation problems with continuous real-valued states. The proposed algorithm has been applied to the construction of D-optimal designs for a simple polynomial regression model with degree 5. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is useful and effective in terms of computation time and the quality of solutions, compared with the stochastic simulated annealing algorithm
