Other optimization criteria are of probabilistic nature.
Scientists generally accept the probabilistic nature of what they do and learn.
Today's top-level bridge programs deal with this probabilistic nature by generating many samples representing the unknown hands.
This perceptual decision can be based on many cues, all of which are of a probabilistic nature.
Multiple hypotheses about what is moving are supported naturally by the probabilistic nature of the approach.
In a random process, the amplitude can not be described as a function of time, because of its probabilistic nature.
The Higgs is also a good example of the probabilistic nature of science.
The probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics thus stems from the act of measurement.
This led to Boltzmann's discovery that entropy had a statistical or probabilistic nature.
Indeed it illustrates the probabilistic nature of these arguments rather well.
