Thanks andrija I was wondering is there any statistical test that can give me the most frequent continuous interval range.
Your code will also give discontinuous frequency intervals. For example, In the code below I dont want the entry with value 400. I am interested more in the bell shape region. 1> x = c(1,2, rep(4,3), rep(5,6), rep(6,7),rep(7,8), rep(9,7), rep(10,4), 13, 17,17,30,100,300, rep(400,10)) 1> barplot(table(x)) I am looking for some test that can give me an out of any of the 4-10, 5-9, 5-10 etc intervals.
