python-scipyHow do I calculate the mode using Python Scipy Stats?

The mode of a dataset is the most frequently occurring value in the dataset. We can use the mode function from the scipy.stats module to calculate the mode of a dataset in Python.

Example code

from scipy.stats import mode

# Create a dataset
data = [1, 1, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 5, 5]

# Calculate the mode
mode(data)

Output example

ModeResult(mode=array([3]), count=array([3]))

The mode function returns a ModeResult object which contains two properties:

• mode: an array containing the most frequent value in the dataset
• count: an array containing the number of occurrences of the most frequent value

In the example above, the mode of the dataset is 3, which appears 3 times.
