Overview

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia · Read full article · Text CC BY-SA 4.0

In statistics, the mode is the value that appears most often in a set of data values. If X is a discrete random variable, the mode is the value x at which the probability mass function P(X) takes its maximum value, i.e., x = argmaxxi P(X = xi). In other words, it is the value that is most likely to be sampled.
