stochastic model

stochastic model A stochastic model is a model that includes chance variation so it can represent random disturbances affecting how a system changes over time.

A stochastic model is a model that includes chance variation so it can represent random disturbances affecting how a system changes over time. In the source, this is done by adding Brownian motion, making the model more realistic and showing how different levels of noise can alter outcomes.
