Arguments

x

Real or complex vector or of factor levels.

Value

• One element from x and of the same type. The number of occurrences will not be returned.

Details

Computes the `sample mode', i.e. the most frequently occurring value in x.

Among values occurring equally frequently, Mode() chooses the smallest one (for a numeric vector), one with a smallest absolute value (for complex ones) or the first occurring value (for factor levels).
