R: Find the typical value

typical {modelr} | R Documentation

## Find the typical value

### Description

For numeric, integer, and ordered factor 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
`...` | Arguments used by methods

### 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)

    # median of an ordered factor
    typical(ordered(c("a", "a", "b", "c", "d")))
