Calculate the mode of a vector

This function calculates the mode of a vector, which is the value that appears most frequently. If there are ties, the function returns all tied values in the encountered order.

Usage

get_mode(values, na.rm = T)

Arguments

values

An atomic vector for which to find the mode.

na.rm

Logical (the default is TRUE) that determine whether the missing values will be removed.

Value

An atomic vector with the mode (or modes) of values.

Examples

# Calculate mode of a numeric vector
get_mode(c(1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3))
#> [1] 3
# Output: 3.

# Calculate mode of a character vector
get_mode(c("apple", "banana", "banana", "orange"))
#> [1] "banana"
# Output: "banana".

# Calculate mode of a vector with ties.
get_mode(c(TRUE, FALSE))
#> [1]  TRUE FALSE
# Output: TRUE, FALSE
get_mode(c(FALSE, TRUE))
#> [1] FALSE  TRUE
# Output: FALSE, TRUE.

# Calculate mode of a vector with NAs
get_mode(c(TRUE, FALSE, NA, NA))
#> [1]  TRUE FALSE
# Output: TRUE, FALSE
get_mode(c(TRUE, FALSE, NA, NA), na.rm = FALSE)
#> [1] NA
# Output: NA.
