peer agreement (net): +9mode Explanation: I think it's referring to the mathematical (statistical) term "mode". This terms is used with "mean" a lot when talking about data ranges (which your text seems to do). "In mathematics, the element that appears most frequently in a given set of data. For example, the mode for the data 0, 0, 9, 9, 9, 12, 87, 87 is 9. The mode together with the median and arithmetic mean make up the average of a set of data. In addition it is useful to know the range or spread of the data. When dealing with grouped data, the modal class represents the most frequent group.

"En estadística, la moda es el valor con una mayor frecuencia en una distribución de datos." http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moda_(estadística) |
