Stochastic Event Instance

A Stochastic Event Instance is an event instance from a stochastic system.

• Context:
  • It can be a member of a Random Event Set.
  • It can range from being a Discrete Stochastic Event to being a Continuous Stochastic Event.
  • It can range from being a Elementary Stochastic Event Instance to being a Complex Stochastic Event Instance.
  • It can range from being an Observable Stochastic Event to being an Unobservable Stochastic Event.
• Example(s):
  • a Random Experiment Event, of a random experiment, such as a dice roll event.
  • a Stochastic Process Instance.
  • …
• Counter-Example(s):
  • a Deterministic Event.
• See: Statistical Frequency.
