Abstract
A set theoretic approach to the study of stochastic reaction models is presented. This approach is based on the premise that the possible compositions of a reaction system form a so-called ``composition space.'' From the concepts of set theory and a frequency interpretation of probability a probability function of the reaction composition is formulated. The set-theoretic approach is applied to the first-order processes A→B, A⇄B, A→B→C and to the second-order process 2A→B. The results are compared with the stochastic Markov approach.Keywords
