So I've come to the point where I actually think the original unimodal is best for a few reasons:

  • The distributions where it's expected to be a good estimate for all probabilities are precisely the unimodal ones.
  • While contiguous better describes the property the interval has, unimodal better describes the assumed property of the distribution.
  • Useful by comparison to our multimodal methods.
  • Consistent with old ArviZ
