Sure! In statistics, the mode is the value that appears most frequently in a dataset. It's like finding the most common number.
In R language, you can find the mode of a dataset using the Mode() function. However, R doesn't have a built-in function specifically named Mode(), so we need to define it first. Here's how you can do it:
Example
Mode <- function(x) {
ux <- unique(x)
ux[which.max(tabulate(match(x, ux)))]
}
Let's say you have a dataset representing the scores of students in a class:
Example
scores <- c(85, 90, 75, 90, 85, 80, 95, 85, 90)
To find the mode (the most common score) from this dataset, you'd use the Mode() function:
Example
mode_score <- Mode(scores)
In this case, if you run the mode_score variable, you'll find that the mode score is 85 because it appears most frequently in the dataset.
