probabilistic
<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.
