Deterministic
nounverified·updated May 18, 2026
modelling [that] produces consistent outcomes for a given set of inputs, regardless of how many times the model is recalculated. The mathematical characteristics are known in this case. None of them is random, and each problem has just one set of specified values as well as one answer or solution. The unknown components in a deterministic model are external to the model. It deals with the definitive outcomes as opposed to random results and doesn’t make allowances for error.
