This does the wrong thing for bimodal lists of numbers, since the
correct answer in that case is the list of modes. Here's an
elisp implementation that's a bit shorter:
(require 'cl)
(defun mode (&rest list)
(let ((ret nil) val count)
(loop for n in list
if (assq n ret)
do (incf (cdr (assq n ret)))
else
do
(push (cons n 1) ret))
(setq ret (sort ret (lambda (a b) (> (cdr a) (cdr b)))))
(setq val (list (caar ret))
count (cdar ret))
(loop for (n . c) in (cdr ret)
while (= c count)
do (push n val))
val))
And here's how to use it in the proffered table:
