Hi Aakash,
Have you read through Pari's paper?
http://users.cis.fiu.edu/~lzhen001/activities/KDD2011Program/docs/p627.pdf
That should provide a better perspective on what density estimation
trees are for and how they differ from more conventional density
estimation techniques.

Yes, I think that is a bug, but can you provide more information on what
exactly you tried and what is going wrong? That way we can start to
debug it. Ideally, density estimation trees should work for even very
small datasets like the iris dataset, so if it is failing, filing a bug
on Trac (http://www.mlpack.org/trac/) is probably the right thing to do.
Thanks,
Ryan
