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 datasetcount
: 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.
