How to find the maximum peak of histogram probability and error from true value?

Hello, I would only like to find the maximum peak of the probability, not more than one, plus determine its errors from the true value = 1 (red line). This is what I've done and it returns more than one value for the the peak. Thanks in advance!

histplot = histogram(data);

hold on
line([1, 1],ylim,'Linewidth',2, 'Color', 'r');

kernel = ksdensity(data);
peak = findpeaks(kernel);

disp(['The peak of the histogram is at: ' num2str(peak)]);

What is your data?

[Adam Danz]

Are you trying to find the peak of the histogram (which is clearly the 0-5 bin) or are you trying to find the peak(s) of the probability density estimates produced by ksdensity()? From the looks of it, you're trying the latter and it sounds like your density is not unimodal.

Maybe you could clarify your goal and either share the data or at least a plot of the probability density estimates.

I corrected the question. It is the peak of the probability density... Thanks

It's tough to make a call without seeing the distribution. Would max() work?

[maxValue, maxIndex] = max(kernel)

x = randn(1, 1e5);
h = histogram(x);
[maxcount, whichbin] = max(h.Values);
title("Maximum of " + maxcount + " occurs in bin " + whichbin + ...
      " between " + h.BinEdges(whichbin) + " and " + h.BinEdges(whichbin+1));
