基于@Chris的函数来计算模态或相关指标，但是使用Ken Williams的方法来计算频率。这个方法修复了根本没有模式(所有元素频率相等)的情况，并提供了一些更易读的方法名。

Mode <- function(x, method = "one", na.rm = FALSE) {
  x <- unlist(x)
  if (na.rm) {
    x <- x[!is.na(x)]
  }

  # Get unique values
  ux <- unique(x)
  n <- length(ux)

  # Get frequencies of all unique values
  frequencies <- tabulate(match(x, ux))
  modes <- frequencies == max(frequencies)

  # Determine number of modes
  nmodes <- sum(modes)
  nmodes <- ifelse(nmodes==n, 0L, nmodes)

  if (method %in% c("one", "mode", "") | is.na(method)) {
    # Return NA if not exactly one mode, else return the mode
    if (nmodes != 1) {
      return(NA)
    } else {
      return(ux[which(modes)])
    }
  } else if (method %in% c("n", "nmodes")) {
    # Return the number of modes
    return(nmodes)
  } else if (method %in% c("all", "modes")) {
    # Return NA if no modes exist, else return all modes
    if (nmodes > 0) {
      return(ux[which(modes)])
    } else {
      return(NA)
    }
  }
  warning("Warning: method not recognised.  Valid methods are 'one'/'mode' [default], 'n'/'nmodes' and 'all'/'modes'")
}

由于它使用Ken的方法来计算频率，性能也得到了优化，使用AkselA的帖子，我对之前的一些答案进行了基准测试，以显示我的函数在性能上是如何接近Ken的，各种输出选项的条件只导致很小的开销:

这个黑客应该工作良好。给你的值以及模式的计数:

Mode <- function(x){
a = table(x) # x is a vector
return(a[which.max(a)])
}

这里有另一个解决方案:

freq <- tapply(mySamples,mySamples,length)
#or freq <- table(mySamples)
as.numeric(names(freq)[which.max(freq)])

下面的函数有三种形式:

method = "mode"[默认值]:计算单模态向量的模式，否则返回NA Method = "nmodes":计算vector中模式的个数 Method = "modes":列出单模态或多模态向量的所有模态

modeav <- function (x, method = "mode", na.rm = FALSE)
{
  x <- unlist(x)
  if (na.rm)
    x <- x[!is.na(x)]
  u <- unique(x)
  n <- length(u)
  #get frequencies of each of the unique values in the vector
  frequencies <- rep(0, n)
  for (i in seq_len(n)) {
    if (is.na(u[i])) {
      frequencies[i] <- sum(is.na(x))
    }
    else {
      frequencies[i] <- sum(x == u[i], na.rm = TRUE)
    }
  }
  #mode if a unimodal vector, else NA
  if (method == "mode" | is.na(method) | method == "")
  {return(ifelse(length(frequencies[frequencies==max(frequencies)])>1,NA,u[which.max(frequencies)]))}
  #number of modes
  if(method == "nmode" | method == "nmodes")
  {return(length(frequencies[frequencies==max(frequencies)]))}
  #list of all modes
  if (method == "modes" | method == "modevalues")
  {return(u[which(frequencies==max(frequencies), arr.ind = FALSE, useNames = FALSE)])}  
  #error trap the method
  warning("Warning: method not recognised.  Valid methods are 'mode' [default], 'nmodes' and 'modes'")
  return()
}

有一个包谦和提供单变量单模态(有时是多模态)数据的模态估计和通常概率分布的模态值。

mySamples <- c(19, 4, 5, 7, 29, 19, 29, 13, 25, 19)

library(modeest)
mlv(mySamples, method = "mfv")

Mode (most likely value): 19 
Bickel's modal skewness: -0.1 
Call: mlv.default(x = mySamples, method = "mfv")

你也可以在CRAN任务视图:概率分布中寻找“模式估计”。已经提出了两个新的一揽子计划。
