Multimodality of distributions is a severe issue in statistical analysis. Comparing two multimodal distributions is a tricky challenge. The degree of this challenge depends on the number of existing modes. Switching from unimodal models to multimodal ones can be a controversial decision, potentially causing more problems than solutions. Hence, if we dare to increase the complexity of the considering models, we should be sure that this is an essential necessity. Even when we confidently detect a ...
