| mfv {modeest} | R Documentation |
This function returns the most frequent value(s) in a given numerical vector.
mfv(x, ...)
x |
numeric. Vector of observations. |
... |
further arguments, which will be ignored. |
Argument x is to come from a discrete distribution.
This function uses function tabulate of R.
The most frequent value(s) found in x is (are) returned.
The user should preferentially call mfv through
mlv(x, method = "mfv") (or mlv(x, method = "discrete")).
This returns an object of class mlv.

mlv for general mode estimation;
geomMode, poisMode, or distribMode for computation of the mode of the classical distributions
