computeMode

Compute statistical mode of a vector (value that occurs most frequently).

Works for integer, numeric, factor and character vectors. The implementation is currently not extremely efficient.

computeMode(x, ties.method = "random", na.rm = TRUE)

`x`	[`vector`] Factor, character, integer, numeric or logical vector.
`ties.method`	[`character(1)`] “first”, “random”, “last”: Decide which value to take in case of ties. Default is “random”.
`na.rm`	[`logical(1)`] If `TRUE`, missing values in the data removed. if `FALSE`, they are used as a separate level and this level could therefore be returned as the most frequent one. Default is `TRUE`.

Modal value of length 1, data type depends on data type of x.

computeMode(c(1,2,3,3))
