"Stochastic" means "random, not supported by facts, hypothetical" in every context in which it is used, across many fields.

stochastic screening in printing (as opposed to halftoning) samples constrained random color points from a real/actual image

the uses of stochastic i've seen 'in the wild' have nothing to do with 2/3 of that definition
