The number of modes in a probability density function is representative of the complexity of a model and can also be viewed as the number of subpopulations.

The adjusted Rand index (ARI) is commonly used in cluster analysis to measure the degree of agreement between two data partitions.

The problem of maximizing (or minimizing) the agreement between clusterings, subject to given marginals, can be formally posed under a common framework for several agreement measures.

Density-based clustering relies on the idea of linking groups to some specific features of the probability distribution underlying the data.

Recently, a number of statistical problems have found an unexpected solution by inspecting them through a "modal point of view".

Despite its popularity, it is widely recognized that the investigation of some theoretical aspects of clustering has been relatively sparse.

We explore the performance of several automatic bandwidth selectors, originally designed for density gradient estimation, as data-based procedures for nonparametric, modal clustering.
