mode of a continuous distribution [message #72298]

Hi all,

I have an array of data from a continuous distribution (non-Gaussian),
and I'd like to find the mode. I have two ideas:

1) an iterative histogram method, where I find the max for smaller &
smaller binsizes until it converges;
2) some sort of kernel density estimation method to estimate the
distribution, and then find the max from that.

Anyone implemented this sort of thing before? Any suggestions?
