A **probabilistic metric space** is a generalization of the concept of a metric space, where the notion of distance between points is represented by a probability distribution rather than a single non-negative real number. This framework is useful in various fields, including applied mathematics, statistics, and computer science, where uncertainty and variability are inherent in the data being analyzed.
