Mode
The mode value is the value that appears the most number of times.
R does not have a function to calculate the mode. However, we can create our
own function to find it.
If we take a look at the values of the
variable (from the wt
data set>mtcars
, we will see that the numbers
3.440 are often shown:
Instead of counting it ourselves, we can use the following code to find the mode:Sorted observation of wt (weight>

From the example above, we now know that the number that appears the most number of times in mtcars wt variable is 3.44 or 3.440 lbs.Example
Data_Cars <- mtcars
Result:
names(sort(-table(Data_Cars$wt>

[1]
[1] "3.44"
