We consider the problem of fitting a probability density function when it is constrained to have a given number of modal intervals. We propose a dynamic programming approach to solving this problem numerically. When this number is not known, we provide several data-driven ways for selecting it. We perform some numerical experiments to illustrate our methodology.
