Hello all,
I am using R to perform certain calculations on huge amounts of data.
In short I need a function that does the mode function, ie returns the
most common element. I looked at the mode function in R but it seems
to return the type of the data element you give it. Does such a method
exist? I have tried googling this to no avail as all the results lead
me back to the mode function I do not want.
I googled for "R calculate mode", the first hit was this result:

But be careful: creating your own function
called 'mode' will mask the standard 'mode'
function.
If you desire to remain sane, name it something
else.

this is probably what you want.
cheers,
Paul
Thanks,
Don
