In Probability theory, does there exist some measures of peaked-ness for multi-modal distributions. I guess kurtosis as such would not be a good measure of peaked-ness for multimodal distributions. Please correct me if I am wrong. Can you point me to some of them which are simpler to compute.

What about information entropy? The smaller it is, the more mass is in peaks.
