are stochastic in nature
1Stochastic differential equation — A stochastic differential equation (SDE) is a differential equation in which one or more of the terms is a stochastic process, thus resulting in a solution which is itself a stochastic process. SDE are used to model diverse phenomena such as… …
2Nature versus nurture — The nature versus nurture debate concerns the relative importance of an individual s innate qualities ( nature, i.e. nativism, or innatism) versus personal experiences ( nurture, i.e. empiricism or behaviorism) in determining or causing… …
3Stochastic ordering — In statistics, a stochastic order quantifies the concept of one random variable being bigger than another. These are usually partial orders, so that one random variable A may be neither stochastically greater than, less than nor equal to another… …
4Stochastic electrodynamics — In theoretical physics, Stochastic electrodynamics (SED) refers to a theory which posits that the interaction of elementary particles with the vacuum radiation field, or zero point field, is ultimately responsible for various familiar quantum… …
5stochastic process — In probability theory, a family of random variables indexed to some other set and having the property that for each finite subset of the index set, the collection of random variables indexed to it has a joint probability distribution. It is one… …
6Move by nature — fig.1, A game beginning with a move by nature In game theory a move by nature is a decision or move in an extensive form game made by a player who has no strategic interests in the outcome. The effect is to add a player, Nature whose practical… …
7Military simulation — Participants from five nations (Singapore, United Kingdom, Malaysia, Australia and New Zealand) conduct a map exercise during Exercise SUMAN Warrior 2006 Military simulations, also known informally as war games, are simulations in which theories… …
8Probability — is the likelihood or chance that something is the case or will happen. Probability theory is used extensively in areas such as statistics, mathematics, science and philosophy to draw conclusions about the likelihood of potential events and the… …
9Theoretical ecology — Mathematical models developed in theoretical ecology predict complex food webs are less stable than simple webs.[1]:75–77[2]:64 …
10Economic model — A diagram of the IS/LM model In economics, a model is a theoretical construct that represents economic processes by a set of variables and a set of logical and/or quantitative relationships between them. The economic model is a simplified… …
