Mode of a dataset

[romanstetsyk]

Is there a package that computes a dataset's mode (the most frequent element)?

[stdlib-bot]

Yes, the @stdlib/stats/base/dists/ package provides functions to compute the mode of several common distributions, including the hypergeometric, binomial, and Poisson distributions.

Hey @romanstetsyk, while we don't have a capacity in stdlib yet to calculate the mode of a dataset, you may try the following package of ours if it's sufficient for you to calculate the mode of an array:

@Planeshifter That's exactly what I need; thanks a lot!
I also noticed that there are a lot of packages in compute org with similar functionality to stdlib.
