An Asymptotic Test for Bimodality Using The Kullback–Leibler Divergence

Detecting bimodality of a frequency distribution is of considerable interest in several fields. Classical inferential methods for detecting bimodality focused in third and fourth moments through the kurtosis measure. Nonparametric approach-based asymptotic tests (DIPtest) for comparing the empirical...
