Definition: Making assumptions about a whole group or range of cases based on a sample that is inadequate (usually because it is atypical or too small).

Largo B. Pontecorvo 3, 56127 - Pisa, Italy. {barbuti,maggiolo,milazzo,troina}@di.unipi.it. Abstract. We introduce a probabilistic algorithm for the simulation. of chemical reactions, which can be used as an alternative to the well-. established stochastic algorithm proposed by D.T. Gillespie in the â70s. We show that the probabilistic evolution of systems derived by means. of our algorithm can be compared to the stochastic time evolution of. chemical reactive systems described by Gillespie. Moreover, we use our. algorithm in the deï¬nition of a formal model based on multiset rewriting,
