Stochastic versus Deterministic Features in Learning Models

Abstract

This paper is not concerned with logics in the strict sense, it is, however, concerned with questions about the logical character of the scientific procedures in the wider sense of self-consistency, adequacy and interconnections between various schemes of thought. This is a reasonable point of view if we accept Peirce’s claim that “according to its nature [logic] is forced to proceed with its research into the condition of reality itself and in doing that it cannot limit itself to language forms but must necessarily enquire about how and what we think.” [6] But independently of patronage the above questions are important in investigating the main traits and alternatives in our scientific thinking. Here we shall try to open a discussion about the character and chances of statistical points of view in science.
