Maximum occurrence of a number

I have a row vector and some of the elements may same. How to get the value which is maximum in numbers?

For Eg:

V=[1 2 3 4 1 1 1 2]

I want a resultant value from V which should result me '1'. Since 1 occurs 4 times(maximum) in this vector. How to do this in matlab??

The value that occurs most is called the mode. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mode_(statistics)

This function is available in MatLab:

a = [1 2 3 4 5 2 6 2]
mode(a)
% ans = 2

You can find such solutions by asking your favorite search engine, e.g.:

http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=Matlab+most+frequent+value

Asking for "Matlab maximum occurence of a number" is less successful, but one of the first hits forwards to "doc mode" also.

Please do not get me wrong: All Matlab related questions are welcome here (and only a tiny part is not worth to be answered), but it is more efficient for you and the answerers of this forum, if you try to find a solution by your own at first.
