I want to use the aggregate function to summarize data by a factor (my
field plots), but I want the summary to be the majority level of another
factor.
For example, given the dataframe:
Plot1 big
Plot1 big
Plot1 small
Plot2 big
Plot2 small
Plot2 small
Plot3 small
Plot3 small
Plot3 small
My desired result would be:
Plot1 big
Plot2 small
Plot3 small
I can't seem to find a scalar function that will give me the majority
level.
Thanks in advance,
Jonathan Thompson
