robust statistics
Outlier-tolerant data analysis
Robust statistics are statistical methods designed to perform well even when data contains outliers, errors, or deviates from idealized assumptions.
Traditional statistics like the mean can be skewed dramatically by a single extreme value; robust alternatives like the median resist such distortion.
The analysis used robust statistics to handle the contaminated dataset.
The field acknowledges that real-world data rarely behaves as neatly as textbook models assume.
