probabilististen

Probabilististen is a Finnish adjective form used in grammar. It is the genitive plural form of the adjective probabilistinen, meaning probabilistic. It is used to modify a plural noun in the genitive case, typically in noun phrases that denote relations or sources, such as the results of probabilistic methods or the assumptions of probabilistic models.

In Finnish, adjectives agree with the noun they modify in number, case, and definiteness, and the -inen adjectives form their genitive plural with the ending -isten. The basic forms include: nominative singular probabilistinen, genitive singular probabilistisen, nominative plural probabilistiset, and genitive plural probabilististen.

Common uses include phrases describing sources, methods, or models that rely on probability theory. For example, probabilististen menetelmien tulokset means the results of probabilistic methods, and probabilististen mallien oletukset refers to the assumptions of probabilistic models. The adjective differs from the nominative plural form probabilistiset, which would modify a plural noun in the nominative case (for example, probabilistiset menetelmät = probabilistic methods).

Note that probabilististen is not a standalone noun; it is a grammatical inflection of probabilistinen and must accompany a noun in genitive plural. The form is frequent in scientific, technical, and academic Finnish, where discussions of data, methods, and theories often involve probabilistic reasoning. Understanding its use helps in parsing complex noun phrases that convey relationships and sources in probability-related discourse.
