sum(abs(x - m)). I would not expect the mode so defined to be of much use in data analysis, nor would it be easy to compute.

How can I get the mode (most frequent value) from a dataset (continuos variables)? I can obtain it when the data is discrete (by making a table and looking at the higher frequency) but I don't know how obtain it from, for example, a density plot of the data. Does anyone know how to do it? Thanks
I don't think the mode of a sample from a continuous random variable is well defined.
