Deterministic vs. probabilistic (stochastic): A deterministic model is one in which every set of variable states is uniquely determined by parameters in the model and by sets of previous states of these variables; therefore, a deterministic model always performs the same way for a given set of initial conditions.
'Deterministički vs probabilistički (stohastički):' model je onaj u kojem je svaki skup varijabilnih stanja jedinstveno određen parametrima u modelu i skupovima prethodnih stanja tih varijable; dakle, deterministički model uvijek obavlja isti način za zadani skup početnih uvjeta.
