Abstract :Givan a seguence of independent and identically distributed random vectors insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Xı, Yi); insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(X2, Y2); insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(X3, Y3);,...., insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Xn,Y„); wilh 8 unimodal bivariate distribıdion fundion Finsert ignore into journalissuearticles values(x,y);, a consistent estimator of the mode, insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(9^,0 ); is proposed by using spacings as defined by J.H. Vanter insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(1967); insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Ann. Math. Statist., 38, 1446-1455); for univariate distributions. The method is illustrated for a bivariate distribulion.
