bimodality
Two distinct peaks
Bimodality is the property of having two distinct peaks or modes.
In statistics, a bimodal distribution shows data clustering around two separate values rather than one: The bimodality of test scores suggested two distinct groups of students.
The term applies wherever two dominant patterns or states emerge from what might otherwise seem continuous variation.
