The purpose of this chapter is to tie together a number of concepts that have been presented earlier. Stochastic models and information-theoretic quantities such as entropy are not disjoint concepts. They overlap nicely in the context of statistical mechanics, where stochastic models describe general classes of equations of motion of physical systems.
