73_mode_estimation: Mode Estimation

Description

Compute the mode or modes, from probability distributions.

Usage

ph.mode (sf, infv=FALSE, ..., level.names=FALSE, freq, n)
ph.modes (sf, infv=FALSE)

Arguments

sf

A suitable function object. For ph.mode, this is a univariate PMF or spline-based PDF. For ph.modes, a spline-based PDF only. Refer to the references and see also sections.

infv

Logical, if true, return the value of the PMF/PDF at the mode(s).

level.names

Logical, if false, return the category index, if true, return the category name. Ignored, except for categorical PMFs with infv=FALSE.

freq

Logical, if true, return frequencies. Ignored, except for PMFs with infv=TRUE.

n

Integer, the sample size. Ignored, unless both infv and freq are true.

…

Ignored.

Value

ph.mode returns a single integer or numeric value. (Except for categorical PMFs with infv=FALSE and level.names=TRUE, which return a string).

ph.modes returns a numeric vector.

Refer to the vignette for an overview, references and better examples.
