[R] How to get mode (the most frequent value in distribution)?

[Ales Ziberna]

Maybe a litle simpler solution:

x<-rnorm(50)
den<-density(x) #see ?density for more details
den$x[which(den$y==max(den$y))]

Hope it helps,
Ales Ziberna

Thanks to all!

It appears that mode calculation is not easy or simple at all. I
understand that it is problematic when you have continous distribution,
but there should still be some general function, as for median, mean, ...
