Subject: a more elegant approach to getting the majority level
Hi, I have a factor and I would like to find the most frequent level.
I think my current approach is a bit long winded and I was wondering if
there was a more elegant way to do it:
x <- factor(sample(1:0, 5,replace=TRUE))
levels(x)[ which( as.logical((table(x) == max(table(x)))) == TRUE ) ]
(The length of x will always be an odd number, so I wont get a tie in
max())
Thanks,
