Mode: Find the modal value

In prettyR: Pretty Descriptive Stats

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.
