Tarendra-

There mite be a function to do that, heres how i would have done it.

few assumptions that have gone

lets say X is the array in which you want to find mode.
fnd histogram of that array. Thing you should take care is the number of buckets you are going to use.  for e.g. if range of number is from 1 -  100 integers then  number of buckets would be 100.

code would be something like this
X = 100 *rand(1,1000);
X = round(X);  % range will be from 0 - 100. in discrete steps of 1.
Y = hist(X,101);
Index = find( Y == max(Y)); Index variable will contain all the index (i.e number )  which appears maximum number of time.

I understand this is round about and crude way of finding that number. Also you may have to modify the code to suit ur application.

Hope this helps

Hi,

The following code was posted to Matlab Central, by Michael Robbins:
(http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/loadFile.do?objectIdR
66&objectType=file) function y=mode(x)
% MODE finds the mode of a sample. The mode is the
% observation with the greatest frequency.
%
% i.e. in a sample x=[0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 3, 0, 1, 3, 1, 2, 2, 0, 1]
% the mode is the most frequent item, 0. % IT'S NOT FANCY BUT IT WORKS
% Michael Robbins
%
%

[b,i,j] = unique(x);
[m,k]=max(hist(j,length(b)));
y=b(k); Jeff

Subject: [matlab] Mode in Matlab Hi,
Do any body know, How to find out mode (most occuring number in
array/matrix) in Matlab?

Or do you have program code to find mode?

Hi,
Do any body know, How to find out mode (most occuring number in
array/matrix) in Matlab?

Or do you have program code to find mode?
