Hi all I recently Googled to find out how to get the mode from my continuous data in R, and came up with this ancient thread from the archives: http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/99b/1319.html But sorting is very inefficient if you have lots of data, so can I propose this method: h <- hist(x, breaks=512) mode <- h$mids[h$counts == max(h$counts)] of course, breaks can be whatever is sensible for your data, which you can check by running plot(h) Apologies if this is ridiculously obvious, Michael
