Would anyone pls advise the difference(s) between the 'deterministic' and 'stochastic' process/model/etc ?
Thanks
 

A deterministic model/approach has predefined results like we know the possible input.On the other hand a stochastic model/approach has a real time input so that it is not known priorly.A possible example can be the diffeence between digital filters like IIR/FIR and Kalman filters.

deterministic = non-random (everything values, behavior known exactly)
stochastic = random (something are not known exactly, only explained in terms of probabilities)
 

So, do you guy agree that it's more challenging to model stochastic process?
 

hi

stochastic process is more difficult to be modeled and simulated..........and in complex systems u may have to neglect some variables to be able to use the model
 

Exactly modeling a stochastic model involves difficulty as only here the adaptation is brought in.whenever the system is said to possess adaptive nature framing a model to explain its behaviour becomes tougher.The best example for adaptation is modeling synapse in neurons which is subjected to adaptation.
