BBmisc (version 1.5)

computeMode: Compute statistical mode of a vector (value that occurs most frequently).

Description

Works for integer, numeric, factor and character vectors. The implementation is currently not extremely efficient.

Usage

computeMode(x, ties.method = "random", na.rm = TRUE)

Arguments

x

[vector] Factor, character, integer, numeric or logical vector.

na.rm

[logical(1)] If TRUE, missing values in the data removed. if FALSE, they are used as a separate level and this level could therefore be returned as the most frequent one. Default is TRUE.

ties.method

[character(1)] first, random, last: Decide which value to take in case of ties. Default is random.

Value

• Modal value of length 1, data type depends on data type of x.

Examples

computeMode(c(1,2,3,3))
