Let me clarify my question
Considering, mode is the maximum value of density function or f'(x)=0. The
maximum of independent variables has their own distribution. For example
the distribution of maximum of independent exponential variables is
exponential. 1) What is the variance of
I agree with Dennis Roberts.
Te mean, the variance, the median, the mode are quantities which are
computed theoretically for a distribution.
Then , we have the sample mean, sample variance, sample median which
are random variables computed from samples. Like any random variables the
sample mean
problem here is that there is NO agreed to operational definition of the
mode ... and if that is the case, difficult to find a variance around it(them)

Hello,
Would you answer the following two questions,
1) I know the variance of mean and median. What is the variance of mode?
2) Under what condition we can say mode is a better estimate of population
average than mean or median. For example, when the distribution of a
variable is Gamma, then
NCSS includes the mode and its frequency as part of its Means Section of the
Descriptive Statistics report (also all of the usual centrality measure
parameter estimates, i.e. mean, median, geometric mean, harmonic mean, etc).

It displays the smallest value for the mode, with a footnote that there are multiple
modes.

SPSS has a statistic that displays the mode. In fact, you can display it and not the
frequency table.

i use minitab and it does not display anywhere the mode (not saying it
should) ... does anyone who uses any other software know if your software
displays mode/modes in any command or output display? (i don't mean a
frequency distribution where YOU can locate it ... but, rather ... it list
