So what makes a process stochastic versus deterministic?

Where are all the students from 2007?  I was one...

Does anybody know a statistical test to check if two samples are coming from distributions with the same means but different variances (Gaussian or more general)?

What is the relationship between the exponential and Poisson distributions? I wonder.

I was just curious whether there was a recommendation for a good book or tutorial on splines. I'd like to read a little more on the estimation of control parameters in particular.
