Get the mode of a vector

This function returns the mode of vectors. That is to say, for any given vector of values, it returns the value that appears most frequently. The function works with strings, numerical and mixed inputs. NA values are treated as distinct values.

Usage

mode(x, na.rm = FALSE, first_only = FALSE)

Arguments

x

A vector

na.rm

Logical value indicating whether NA values should be omitted. Default is FALSE.

first_only

Logical value indicating whether only the first mode should be returned if x has multiple modes (i.e. there are multiple values with the highest number of observations). Default is FALSE.

Value

Returns the mode of the vector x

Examples

countries::mode(c("a","a",2,3))
#> [1] "a"
countries::mode(c(1,1,2,3,NA,2))
#> [1] 1 2
countries::mode(c(NA,NA,NA,1,1,2))
#> [1] NA
