     48 ## Usage
     49 
     50 ```javascript
     51 var mode = require( '@stdlib/stats/base/dists/cauchy/mode' );
     52 ```
     53 
     54 #### mode( x0, gamma )
     55 
     56 Returns the [mode][mode] of a [Cauchy][cauchy-distribution] distribution with location parameter `x0` and scale parameter `gamma`.
     57 
     58 ```javascript
     59 var v = mode( 10.0, 5.0 );
     60 // returns 10.0
     61 
     62 v = mode( 7.0, 2.0 );
     63 // returns 7.0
     64 ```
     65 
     66 If provided `NaN` as any argument, the function returns `NaN`.
     67 
     68 ```javascript
     69 var v = mode( NaN, 5.0 );
     70 // returns NaN
     71 
     72 v = mode( 20.0, NaN );
     73 // returns NaN
     74 ```
     75 
     76 If provided `gamma <= 0`, the function returns `NaN`.
     77 
     78 ```javascript
     79 var v = mode( 1.0, -1.0 );
     80 // returns NaN
     81 
     82 v = mode( 1.0, 0.0 );
     83 // returns NaN
     84 ```
