OBS

Se hace referencia con esta expresión a las funciones (de producción, de demanda, etc.) sujetas a influencias aleatorias (del griego estocásticos, conjetura). Por ejemplo. una variable dependiente x puede estar determinada por una variable independiente más un elemento aleatorio. Se denominará estocástico a tal expresión, porque el valor de x, al menos parcialmente, depende de la suerte.
