In this way we obtain a metric space of models with the corresponding induced topology. The distance function is based on the Hausdorff distance between sets of probability functions related to model outputs. This permits us to calculate the distance between two models, to define a convergent sequence of models and to handle the mappings from model parameter space to the model space. The continuity of such mappings can be investigated. This may be useful when selecting a simplified model specification or deciding if a model component can be removed or the model structure simplified.
