Hi, If there are multiple max values, you will get only the first value with ?which.max(). Using dataset `a` as an example:
a <- structure(list(`1` = c("Mal", "Mahesh", "Tarak", "Pawan", "Charan", "Prabhas", "Arjun", "Naresh", "Nithin", "Puri"), `2` = 1:10, `3` = c("Layer", "Actor", "Actor", "Actor", "Actor", "Actor", "Actor", "Actor", "Actor", "Director"), `4` = c(22L, 45L, 30L, 47L, 32L, 32L, 31L, 29L, 30L, 38L), `5` = c("M", "M", "M", "M", "M", "M", "M", "M", "M", "M"), `6` = c(100000L, 150000000L, 150000000L, 150000000L, 100000000L, 100000000L, 90000000L, 30000000L, 30000000L, 100000000L)), .Names = c("1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6"), class = "data.frame", row.names = c("1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "10")) sapply(a,function(x) which.max(table(factor(x,levels=unique(x))))) # 1.Mal 2.1 3.Actor 4.30 5.M 6.150000000 # 1 1 2 3 1 2 #or Mode <- function(x) { ux <- unique(x) which.max(tabulate(match(x,ux)))} sapply(a,Mode) #1 2 3 4 5 6 #1 1 2 3 1 2 #If you want the index of all the max values: lapply(a,function(x) {h <- table(factor(x,levels=unique(x))); which(h%in% max(h))}) A.K.

But I have 10000 Variable Names of Data, Then How to find (above is find at a time only one mode, I need at a time complete dataset mode.) Eg:1000 variable Names,500 Character names,500 Numeric Names like(Gender,salary,occupation,age......) then how to find mode. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
