Mode Task

Accepts multiple numerical inputs and returns the mode (most common) of them. If more than one value occur the maximum number of times, it returns all of them.

Parameters

• values: an array of values from which to select a mode.
• allowedFaults (optional): the maximum number of input tasks that can error without the Mode task erroring. If not specified, this value defaults to N - 1, where N is the number of inputs.

Outputs

A map containing two keys:

{
    "results": [ ... ], // An array containing all of the values that occurred the maximum number of times
    "occurrences": ..., // The number of times those values occurred
}

Example

my_mode_task [type="mode"
                values=<[ $(fetch1), $(fetch2), $(fetch3), $(fetch4), $(fetch5), $(fetch6), $(fetch7), $(fetch8) ]>
                allowedFaults=3]

Given a values array containing [ 2, 5, 2, "foo", "foo" "bar", "foo", 2 ], the task will return:

{
  "results": [2, "foo"],
  "occurrences": 3
}
