Multiple modes reported for seemingly single mode variable
Hello,
I'm using a variable HAPPY that is ordinal with three ranked categories. The Descriptive Statistics (see image)
include a note about more than one mode existing, but this doesn't seem supported by the actual frequencies for each category, nor the bar graph. What explains this?
Thank you for the assistance.

Hi,
The mode is currently computed as if all variables are continuous. This is a mistake and will be fixed in the next version of JASP, where it will be computed differently for ordinal and nominal data.
Cheers,
Don
