Stochastic process, an Uncommon card
In probability theory and related fields a stochastic or random process is a mathematical object usually defined as a family of random variables in a probability space, where the index of the family often has the interpretation of time.

Find the missing word
Stochastic processes are widely used as mathematical models of ______ and phenomena that appear to vary in a random manner.
Answer
systems. Stochastic processes are widely used as mathematical models of systems and phenomena that appear to vary in a random manner. From the Stochastic process article on Wikipedia.
Which of these cards hits hardest (highest ATK)?
Answer
COVID-19 pandemic on cruise ships. COVID-19 pandemic on cruise ships 100 · Stochastic process 93 · Boeing 747 89 · Beryllium 86 ATK in WikiCards.
Which of these Wikipedia articles is read the most in a year?
Answer
Anthony Fauci. Anthony Fauci 1,400,000 · Beryllium 240,000 · Stochastic process 180,000 · COVID-19 pandemic on cruise ships 42,000 Wikipedia reads over a year.
In a duel, each round asks a question like these about the opposing card, with 15 seconds to answer.
The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Stochastic processes are widely used as mathematical models of systems and phenomena that appear to vary in a random manner.
- Examples include the growth of a bacterial population, an electrical current fluctuating due to thermal noise, or the movement of a gas molecule.
- Stochastic processes have applications in many disciplines such as biology, chemistry, ecology, neuroscience, physics, image processing, signal processing, control theory, information theory, computer science, and telecommunications.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Stochastic process article was read about 180,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 93 and blocks with 92: each hit it takes is cut by 37 %.
How to get Stochastic process
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
