A COUNTEREXAMPLE TO A CLAIM CONCERNING THE CONVOLUTION OF MULTIMODAL DISTRIBUTIONS Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • P. Ghosh (1981) has claimed that the convolution of two symmetric multimodal distributions is symmetric and unimodal. A simple counterexample to this claim is constructed by considering the convolution f*f, where f is an appropriate mixture of two normal densities. 1985, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
