non-random
Not by chance
Non-random describes something that follows a pattern, design, or intention rather than occurring by chance.
A non-random sample is deliberately selected rather than chosen at random: The study used non-random sampling to ensure representation from each age group.
In statistics and research, non-random methods can introduce bias but are sometimes necessary when random selection isn't practical.
