Zusammenfassung:Disclosed is a method of determining at least one stochastic metric relating to a lithographic process and associated optical metrology device. The method comprises obtaining a trained machine learning model, the machine learning model having been trained to infer one or more stochastic metric values for said stochastic metric from optical metrology data. Optical metrology data comprising at least one measurement signal relating to a structure having been exposed in a lithographic process is obtained and the trained machine learning model used to infer a value for said stochastic metric from said optical metrology data.
