Statistics Utilities

Calculate Mode

Finds the mode (most frequently occurring value) in a dataset through TinyFn's statistics API at `/v1/stats/mode`. Essential for analyzing categorical data, survey responses, and identifying dominant patterns in datasets. Available via MCP in Cursor and other AI editors, plus REST API for direct integration.

API Endpoint

GET /v1/stats/mode

Code Examples

curl "https://tinyfn.io/v1/stats/mode" \
  -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"

const response = await fetch('https://tinyfn.io/v1/stats/mode', {
  headers: { 'X-API-Key': 'YOUR_API_KEY' }
});
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);

import requests

response = requests.get('https://tinyfn.io/v1/stats/mode',
    headers={'X-API-Key': 'YOUR_API_KEY'})
data = response.json()
print(data)

FAQ

How do I calculate the mode of a dataset using TinyFn?

Send a GET request to `/v1/stats/mode` with your dataset as a parameter. The API returns the most frequently occurring value(s) in your data.

What happens when multiple values have the same highest frequency?

TinyFn returns all values that tie for the highest frequency, making it multimodal. This correctly handles datasets where multiple values appear equally often.

Can I use TinyFn's mode calculation with MCP in AI coding assistants?

Yes, the mode tool is available through MCP in Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, and other supported editors for statistical analysis within your development workflow.

Does the mode function work with both numeric and text data?

Yes, TinyFn's mode calculation handles any data type since it counts frequencies rather than performing mathematical operations on the values themselves.

How is TinyFn's mode calculation different from mean or median?

Mode identifies the most common value regardless of data type, while mean and median require numeric data and measure central tendency differently.
