(17) The use of a genetic marker as a heuristic diagnostic criterion in a subgroup of heredofamilial psychoses with unclear diagnostic boundaries is proposed.
(18) There were still quite a few Marxists at Oxford in those days – Terry Eagleton and his clique were seemingly bolted to the same table in the King’s Arms the entire time I was an undergraduate – but while I was silly and naive enough to believe in the purifying, energising effects of violent revolution, I wasn’t obtuse enough to think of dialectical materialism as anything more than a powerful heuristic.
(19) A six-factor model provides a heuristic framework for understanding adherence behavior: (1) effective provider communication; (2) rapport with provider; (3) client's beliefs and attitudes; (4) client's social climate and norms; (5) behavioral intentions; and (6) supports for and barriers to adherence.

Stochastic
Definition:
(a.) Conjectural; able to conjecture.
Example Sentences:
(1) We assumed that the sensory messages received at a given level are transformed by a stochastic process, called Alopex, in a way which maximizes responses in central feature analyzers.
(2) The capacity of granule-cell networks to separate overlapping patterns of activity on their inputs is adequate, with spatial variability in the secretion at synapses, but is improved if there is also temporal variability in the stochastic secretion at individual synapses, although this is at the expense of reliability in the network.
