Abstract: Abstract Our daily experience teaches us that some data are generated in accordance to known and precise laws, while other data seem to occur in a purely haphazard way. Data generated in accordance to known and precise laws are called deterministic data. An example of such type of data is: the fall of a body subject to the Earth’s gravity. When the body is released at a height h, we can calculate precisely where the body stands at each time t.
