Ok. so I read about the ("modeest") package that gives the results that I am looking for (most repeated value).
I modified the data frame a little and moved the text to the first column. This is the data frame with all 3 possible classes for each term. ================================= structure(list(terms = structure(c(1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 4L, 4L, 4L, 4L, 4L, 3L, 3L, 3L, 3L, 2L, 2L, 2L), .Label = c("#dac", "#mac,#security", "accountability,anonymous", "data security,encryption,security" ), class = "factor"), class.1 = c(0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 2L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 2L, 2L, 1L, 1L, 2L, 1L, 2L), class.2 = c(2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 0L, 0L, 2L, 0L, 0L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 2L, 0L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 1L, 1L, 2L, 2L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 1L, 1L, 1L), class.3 = c(0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 2L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 0L, 2L, 1L, 2L)), .Names = c("terms", "class.1", "class.2", "class.3"), class = "data.frame", row.names = c(NA, -49L)) ============================================= #Then I applied the function below: ====================== library(modeest) df<- read.csv(file="short.csv", head= TRUE, sep=",") apply(df[ ,2:length(df)], 1, mfv) ============================ # It gives the most frequent value for each row which is what I need. The only problem is that all the values are displayed in one single row. [1] 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 2 1 2 It would be much better to show them in separate rows. For example: [1] 0 [2] 0 [3] 1 .... Any idea how to do this?
