Dear Members of the R-Help,


While using a R function - 'aggregate' that you developed, I become to have a question.

In that function,

aggregate(x, by, FUN, ..., simplify = TRUE)

I was wondering about what type of FUN I should write if I want to get "the most frequent value of the subgroup" as a summary statistics of the subgroups.

Something along the lines of

 function(x){  tbl <- table(x);  retrun(names(tbl)[which.max(tbl)] }

You could also search for definitions that have appeared over the years in rhelp for a mode function (but not the existing mode function which is not designed to deliver what you request.)
