Stochastic Thinking: Predictive non-determinism

MIT 6.0002 Lec4: Stochastic Thinking - YOUTUBE -

Often confusing categorization of a mathematical model: - SE - NB: in CS, people often use "deterministic" to mean non-randomized. This causes confusion: > "Determinism" means non-randomized. But, "Non-determinism" does not mean "randomized". - Determinism vs. Non-Determinism - ...? vs. stochastic/random - a stochastic (or random) process means,

I think better way to put this confusion into words is: "Nondeterinistc vs. Probabilistic models" - lavalle 2006
