Stochastic vs. empirical
Stochastic vs. empirical
I agree that stochastic and deterministic are antonyms but I don't think that empirical and stocastic are. I could imagine coducting experiments on a stochastic phenomenon and using statistics to infer empirically a behaviour that I could not deduce from theory

Re: Stochastic vs. empirical
I would agree they are not what I would call antonyms, more contrary in the logical sense than contradictory.
