效果很好

> a<-c(1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5)
> names(table(a))[table(a)==max(table(a))]

在r邮件列表中发现了这个，希望对你有帮助。我也是这么想的。您将希望table()数据，排序，然后选择第一个名称。这有点粗俗，但应该有用。

names(sort(-table(x)))[1]

下面是一个查找模式的函数:

mode <- function(x) {
  unique_val <- unique(x)
  counts <- vector()
  for (i in 1:length(unique_val)) {
    counts[i] <- length(which(x==unique_val[i]))
  }
  position <- c(which(counts==max(counts)))
  if (mean(counts)==max(counts)) 
    mode_x <- 'Mode does not exist'
  else 
    mode_x <- unique_val[position]
  return(mode_x)
}

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()
}

添加raster::modal()作为一个选项，不过请注意，raster是一个很大的包，如果不做地理空间方面的工作，可能不值得安装。

源代码可以从https://github.com/rspatial/raster/blob/master/src/modal.cpp和https://github.com/rspatial/raster/blob/master/R/modal.R中取出，放入个人R包中，供那些特别热衷的人使用。

另一个简单的选项是使用rle来给出所有按频率排序的值:

df = as.data.frame(unclass(rle(sort(mySamples))))
df = df[order(-df$lengths),]
head(df)
