stochastically
With probabilistic variation
In a manner involving randomness or probability rather than certainty.
A stochastic process has outcomes that vary according to chance, so to do something stochastically is to do it with random variation built in: The model stochastically generates weather patterns.
The term appears most often in mathematics, statistics, and computational contexts.
