Abstract

Materials are, by their very nature, stochastic. Modeling materials across scales requires models that capture this inherent stochasticity. In this chapter, preceding a section on stochastic, coarse-grained models, we examine the elements of stochasticity and coarse-graining and the different implementations of each. Examples of the methods are also briefly discussed.
