= Stochastic computing
{wiki=Stochastic_computing}
Stochastic computing is a computing paradigm that represents data as probabilities rather than using traditional binary representations (0s and 1s). In stochastic computing, a value is encoded as a stream of bits where the probability of a bit being '1' corresponds to the value being represented. For example, if a number is represented as a stochastic bit stream of length \\( N \\), the ratio of '1's to '0's in that stream can represent a value between 0 and 1.
