Question

How can you find the mode of a dataset in R?

Answer 1

There is no built-in function in R to directly find the mode. However, you can create a custom function to calculate the mode. 

Here's an example:

getMode <- function(x) {
  ux <- unique(x)
  ux[which.max(tabulate(match(x, ux)))]
}

# Example usage
data <- c(1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5)
mode_value <- getMode(data)
print(mode_value)
 

Output:

[1] 4
