Examples

# Create the vector with numbers.
x <- c(2, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 5, 5, NA, 2, 3)

# Calculate the mode using the user function.
calc_mode(x, na.rm = TRUE)
calc_mode(x, na.rm = FALSE)

library(DescTools)
data(d.pizza)

calc_mode(d.pizza$driver)
sapply(d.pizza[,c("driver","temperature","date")], calc_mode, na.rm = TRUE)

# Two values are returned if more than one mode
y <- c(2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3)
calc_mode(y)
