To find value most likely to occur:
[~, idx] = max(histogram.Values); % tallest bin(y value) and its index location
mostLikely = histogram.BinEdges(idx); % x value associated with greatest y value

Why you go for histogram? You can get the value from array itself
Maximum occurrence bins in histogram==Maximum occurrence element in data_array
data_array=[]
% This gives the value of repeated elemnets (Maximum occurrence)
data_mode=mode(y);
% Gives repetitions number
count1=sum(data_array(data_array(:)==data_mode))/data_mode
There may be more easier way.

Call max (with two outputs, if you want both the highest bin count and the bin that has that count) on the Values or BinCounts properties of the histogram object, depending if you want to work with normalized or un-normalized data.

If you try to get the value of the bin with the maximum repetitions in the histogram with a pdf function use:
max(histogram.Values)
