N2 - A probabilistic variant of input-driven pushdown automata (IDPDA), also known as visibly pushdown automata, is introduced. It is proved that these automata can be determinized: an n-state probabilistic IDPDA that accepts each string with probability at least λ + δ or at most λ − δ is transformed to a deterministic IDPDA with at most (1+ 1δ)n2−n states recognizing the same language. An asymptotically close lower bound is provided: for infinitely many n, there is a probabilistic IDPDA with 4n + 1 states and δ = 2701n, such that every equivalent deterministic IDPDA needs at least 7n2/14 states. A few special cases of automata with reduced determinization complexity are identified.
