Letter from author, 1/21/86, concerning CIP data and request to use new heading. ("Usually 'stochastic' and 'random' are interchangeable, but when used with 'matrices' they have distinct meanings. A stochastic matrix is a nonnegative matrix with elements that sum to 1, whereas a random matrix is a matrix with randomly chosen elements.")
