Deterministic Functions and Variables
<Back to Last Page>     <Full Glossary>

Definition of Deterministic Functions and Variables: Deterministic means not random. A deterministic function or variable often means one that is not random, in the context of other variables available.

That is, those other variables determine the variable in question unerringly, by a function that would give the same value every time those other variables were given to it as arguments, unlike a random one which with some probability would give different answers. (Econterms)
