Preferred term

stochastic medical informatics  

Definition

  • Stochastic medical informatics is an approach to reasoning about clinical phenomena that manages the inherent uncertainty and complexity through statistical methods such as random sampling from probability distributions. The representation of information, such as the possible clinical outcomes for patients, and reasoning about it can be highly complex and computationally overwhelming.
