From Deterministic to Probabilistic Population Synthesis (Why Synthesis Models are not what we thought they were, and how they can be much more than that)
For a number of reasons, the properties of integrated stellar populations are distributed. Traditional synthesis models usually return the mean value of such distribution, and a perfect fitting to observational data is sought for to infer the age and metallicity of observed stellar populations. We show here that, while this is correct on average
