mode function
The mode is the most frequent value in an attribute.
For example, the mode in the list [23; 26; 26; 26; 4; 7; 7; 98] is 26.
If the list is made up of numbers which have the same occurrence in the list, the lowest value is considered as mode. (e.g. in the list 2; 2; 2; 2; 1; 1; 1; 1; 100; 1000 the mode is 1, as it has the same occurrence of 2).
