Mode {prettyR} | R Documentation |
Find the modal value
Description
Finds the modal value of an object (usually a factor).
Usage
Mode(x,na.rm=FALSE)
Arguments
x |
An object, usually a factor. |
na.rm |
A dummy argument to make it compatible with calls to ‘mean’, etc. |
Details
‘Mode’ finds the modal value of the object. If there are multiple modal values, it returns an appropriate message. If ‘Mode’ is called with a continuous variable, it will not in general return a sensible answer. It does not attempt to estimate the density of the values and return an approximate modal value.
Value
The modal value of the object as a character string.
Note
This is not the same as ‘mode’ that determines the data mode of an object.
