  probabilistic
  stochastic
  
     <probability> Relating to, or governed by, probability. The
     behaviour of a probabilistic system cannot be predicted
     exactly but the probability of certain behaviours is known.
     Such systems may be simulated using pseudo-random numbers.
     Evolutionary computation uses probabilistic processes to
     generate new (potential) solutions to a problem.
  
     See also deterministic, non-probabilistic.
