Mode: Mode of a vector

Description

Finds the modal value of a vector of any class.

Usage

Mode(x, na.rm=FALSE)

Arguments

x

a vector (lists and arrays will be flattened).

na.rm

logical: strip NA values?

Value

• The value of x that occurs most often. If there is a tie, the one that appears first (among those tied) is chosen.

Details

Based on code from the R wiki: http://rwiki.sciviews.org/doku.php?id=tips:stats-basic:modalvalue.

Examples

x <- c(1, 3, 3, 4)
Mode(x)  # 3
x.char <- letters[x]
Mode(x.char)  # "c"
x.factor <- as.factor(x.char)
Mode(x.factor)  # "c", with levels "a", "c", "d"
x.logical <- x > 3
Mode(x.logical)  # FALSE

## behavior with ties
y <- c(3, 3, 1, 1, 2)
Mode(y)  # 3
z <- c(2, 1, 1, 3, 3)
Mode(z)  # 1}
