Description

Calculate the mode (most frequent value) of a variable

Usage

modus(x, randTies = FALSE) 

Arguments

x	a vector
randTies	If TRUE, in case more than one mode is found, one random value of all modes is returned.

The modus function is designed to always return only one value for the mode of a variable. If the variable is bimodal or multimodal, the function returns either NA (if randTies = FALSE) or a randomly chosen value of all modes (if randTies = TRUE).
