What is another word for randomized algorithms?
Pronunciation: [ɹˈandəmˌa͡ɪzd ˈalɡəɹˌɪθəmz] (IPA) 
Randomized algorithms are computational algorithms that use a random process to produce their results. They are widely used in computer science to solve many complex problems. However, there are several synonymous terms for randomized algorithms, including probabilistic algorithms, stochastic algorithms, and randomized methods. Probabilistic algorithms use probability theory to analyze, design, and evaluate algorithms. Stochastic algorithms use statistical methods to improve the performance of algorithms. Randomized methods are used when exact solutions to a problem are difficult or impossible to compute. They use randomness in their design to achieve probabilistic results that are typically faster and require fewer computational resources than deterministic algorithms.
