A general cluster expansion of the averaged transition operator of a disordered system in terms of the distribution functions of its constituents is given. Self‐consistent n ‐site approximations are defined by requiring that a truncated version of this series should be zero in an effective medium. In the alloy case these are shown to be equivalent to previously derived approximations. For amorphous systems a new type of n ‐site approximations is obtained.
