pravdpodobnostní

Pravdepodobnostní (often written pravdepodobnostný in Slovak or pravděpodobnostní in Czech) is an adjective used to describe phenomena, models, or methods that involve probability and uncertainty. In mathematics and statistics, it denotes approaches that explicitly incorporate probabilistic reasoning rather than assuming deterministic outcomes.

Origin and terminology: The root is the noun for probability (pravdepodobnost in Slovak, pravděpodobnost in Czech). The adjective is used to label probabilistic models, analyses, and programming languages.

Applications: Probabilistic concepts are central to probability theory, statistics, and data analysis. They underlie probabilistic graphical models, Bayesian inference, Monte Carlo simulation, and stochastic processes. In computer science, probabilistic algorithms and probabilistic programming languages are used to handle uncertainty and randomness.

Examples: A probabilistic weather forecast assigns probabilities to weather events; a probabilistic model estimates the likelihood of outcomes; Monte Carlo methods simulate many random trials to approximate a result.
