pyarrow.compute.mode¶

pyarrow.compute.mode(array, n=1)[source]¶

Return top-n most common values and number of times they occur in a passed numerical (chunked) array, in descending order of occurance. If there are more than one values with same count, smaller one is returned first.

Parameters: array (pyarrow.Array or pyarrow.ChunkedArray) –
Returns: An array of <input type “Mode”, int64_t “Count”> structs

Examples

>>> import pyarrow as pa
>>> import pyarrow.compute as pc
>>> arr = pa.array([1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 2, 2, 2])
>>> modes = pc.mode(arr, 2)
>>> modes[0]
<pyarrow.StructScalar: {'mode': 2, 'count': 5}>
>>> modes[1]
<pyarrow.StructScalar: {'mode': 1, 'count': 2}>
