R: Find the typical value

typical {modelr} | R Documentation

## Find the typical value

### Description

For numeric vectors, it returns the median. For factors, characters, and logical vectors, it returns the most frequent value. If multiple values are tied for most frequent, it returns them all. `NA` missing values are always silently dropped.

### Usage

    typical(x)

### Arguments

`x` | A vector

### Examples

    # median of numeric vector
    typical(rpois(100, lambda = 10))

    # most frequent value of character or factor
    x <- sample(c("a", "b", "c"), 100, prob = c(0.6, 0.2, 0.2), replace = TRUE)
    typical(x)
    typical(factor(x))

    # if tied, returns them all
    x <- c("a", "a", "b", "b", "c")
    typical(x)
