Tõenäosuslikuks

Tõenäosuslikuks is an Estonian adjective that translates to "probabilistic" or "stochastic" in English. It describes something that involves or is governed by probability, meaning it deals with the likelihood of uncertain events occurring. In mathematics and statistics, a process or model is considered tõenäosuslikuks if its outcomes are not deterministic but rather subject to random variation. This concept is fundamental to understanding and analyzing phenomena where complete certainty is not possible.

The term tõenäosuslikuks is often used in contexts such as scientific research, machine learning, and risk assessment. For instance, a weather forecast that predicts a 70% chance of rain is described as tõenäosuslik. Similarly, in artificial intelligence, many algorithms learn and make predictions based on probabilistic models, allowing them to handle incomplete or uncertain information. The study of tõenäosuslikud sündmused (probabilistic events) helps quantify uncertainty and make informed decisions in the face of randomness. It allows for the prediction of patterns and trends even when individual outcomes are unpredictable.
