modal value
Noun: - The most frequent value of a random variable; the value that appears most often in a set of data. In statistics, the modal value is a measure of central tendency, representing the most common or frequent observation in a data set.
The term "modal value" is used primarily in statistical and mathematical contexts to describe the peak or most common point in a data distribution. It is synonymous with the statistical term "mode." - It is used to summarize categorical or numerical data by identifying the most typical or frequent category/number. - Unlike the mean or median, the modal value is not affected by extreme values (outliers) but may not be unique (a data set can have more than one mode).
- "Modal value" in probability distributions: For a discrete random variable, the modal value is the value with the highest probability. For a continuous random variable, it is the value at which the probability density function reaches its maximum (the peak of the distribution curve).
- The modal value of this normal distribution is at the mean.
- Mode (noun): The more common and concise synonym for "modal value."
- The mode of the test scores was 85.
- Bimodal (adjective): Describing a distribution with two distinct modal values.
- Multimodal (adjective): Describing a distribution with more than one modal value.
- Unimodal (adjective): Describing a distribution with a single modal value.
- Mode: The most frequent value.
- Most frequent value: A descriptive synonym.
- While not direct opposites, other measures of central tendency are distinct:
- Mean: The average value.
- Median: The middle value when data is ordered.
There are no common idioms or phrasal verbs using "modal value." It is a technical statistical term.
