o as Christian Moe pointed out, calc does not provide a vmode() function.

o the separator lines in the formulas have to be specified using capital
I letters.

I cribbed heavily from the implementation of vmedian. Although there is
no key binding, you can even use the above in an interactive Calc
session, by entering the formula in algebraic form. I yanked the vector
twice onto the Calc stack and then entered 'vmode($) with the following
result:

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:

| Date Stamp             | Systalic | Diastalic | Pulse |
|------------------------+----------+-----------+-------|
| [2011-07-19 Tue 02:26] |      138 |        92 |    74 |

Hi, Nick,

I think your vmode() needs to subtract one from the result. The mode 
in the "systolic" column of Jude's dataset should be 124 (f=12), not 
125 (f=2).

For Jude's limited purposes I got by with less code (but note the 
caveats):

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
   (defmath vmode (vec)
     "Returns the mode (most frequent value) of a unimodal vector of
   integers VEC.  WARNING: Will not work with non-integer values or
   multiple vectors. Will only return the lowest mode for multimodal
   data."
     (let ((freq (histogram vec (1+ (vmax vec)))))
             (1- (find freq (vmax freq)))))
#+end_src

Using :=vmode(@I..@II), I get 124 (systolic), 80 (diastolic), 68 (pulse).

Yours,
Christian

Yes, this is an off-by-one error: in vfreqs, I should cons prev onto
freqs, not (nth 0 vec). In addition to this and the multimodal problem
that both you and Lawrence Mitchell pointed out, there is another
off-by-one error when vfreqs gets to the end of the list.

All in all, a disaster: can a posting be deleted? or at least marked
with a big, red X so that it won't mislead in the future? I'll try to
post a corrected version later on.

OTOH, my main interest in this was the hooking up of a user function

Here's an attempt to correct the problems that Christian, Lawrence and I
found in my previous attempt. I include two tables, Jude's original and
a truncated version to force multimodality. I hope that this is correct
(but I would not be surprised if there are other errors lurking - but at
least it is better than the previous version). As always, I'd appreciate
corrections etc.

Hi, Nick,

No whacks intended! It was an easy catch because I was mulling over 
similar problems with my code. My own second pass at a vmode 
implementation for Calc is below, now with support for negative values 
and bimodal data. It takes a different route and is a bit shorter, but 
doesn't handle all the cases your code does (I guess; I don't grok it 
all).

Yours,
Christian


(defmath vmode (vec)
   "Return the mode(s), i.e. most frequent value(s), of a vector
   of integers VEC."
   (let ((results (vec)) ; hold results
         (index 1)
         offset maxfreq)
     (setq offset (- 1 (vmin vec))
           vec (+ offset vec) ; bump all ints positive
           freq (histogram vec (1+ (vmax vec)))
           offset (1+ offset) ; histogram added `0' slot
           maxfreq (vmax freq))
     ;; Collect indexes (less offset) of all max freqs
     (while (> (setq index (find freq maxfreq index)) 0)
       (setq results (vconcat results index)
             index (1+ index)))
     (setq results (- results offset)) ; get neg ints back
     ;; Return results as vector or number
     (if (> (vlen results) 1)
         results
       (head results))))
