    `DeterministicModel` & `DeterministicPosterior`.

    [DEPRECATED] - Use `IndexSampler` in conjunction with `EnsemblePosterior`
    instead of `DeterministicSampler` with `DeterministicPosterior`.

    This is effectively signals that `StochasticSampler` is safe to use with
    deterministic models since their output is deterministic by definition.
