Multimodal distribution
In statistics, a bimodal distribution is a continuous probability distribution with two different modes. These appear as distinct peaks (local maxima) in the probability density function, as shown in Figure 1.More generally, a multimodal distribution is a continuous probability distribution with two or more modes, as illustrated in Figure 3.
