[R] Mode in case of discrete or categorial data

[Vito Ricci]

Thanking John for his suggestion I build this function
which get the mode of both categorial and discrete
data.


Mode<-function(x){t<-table(x)
if (is.numeric(x)) as.numeric(names(t)[t == max(t)])
else (names(t)[t == max(t)])
}

Any other improvement and suggestion will welcome.

Best

Vito
