computeMode {BBmisc} | R Documentation |
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
