Sebb commented on MATH-1007:
----------------------------
OK. Minor clarifications:
s/in the first element/as the only element/
s/array of maximum frequency elements/array of the most frequently occuring
element(s)/
==
I'd not considered NaNs - not sure that the Frequency implementation ignores
them; need to check.
What about null array?
Most of the other methods return MathIllegalArgumentException for this.
Also, do you want to support begin and length params like many of the other
methods?

> It might be useful to have a StatUtils function to get the mode.
> However, this may be tricky as it does not easily fit in with the current
> StatUtils design.
> The mode can have multiple elements, but all the other methods only return a
> single value.
> There are at least two options for converting an array to a single value:
> - arbitrarily (or randomly) pick one
> - throw an Exception if there is more than one mode
> Or maybe StatUtils should return a double array.
> StatUtils also uses nested classes for all but the difference and normalize
> methods. However the standard interfaces and classes don't support returning
> arrays.
