Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-007443
The value that appears most frequently in a set of measurements or observations. In statistical analysis, it represents the peak of a distribution and indicates the most common outcome or characteristic within a dataset. For a unimodal distribution, there is only one such value, while multimodal distributions have several.
