The modality describes the number of peaks in a dataset. Thus far, we have only looked at datasets with one distinct peak, known as unimodal. This is the most common.
A bimodal dataset has two distinct peaks.
A multimodal dataset has more than two peaks. The histogram below displays three peaks.
You may also see datasets with no obvious clustering. Datasets such as these are called uniform distributions.
