	Robust - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Robustness is an important characteristic of the internet because network design is a key factor in the availability of data.
		Robust e-mail allows a company to convert most of their communications from paper to electronic.
		A robust statistical test is one that performs well even if its assumptions are violated by the true model from which the data were generated.

	Robust statistics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Robust statistics seeks to provide methods that emulate classical methods, but which are not unduly affected by outliers or other small departures from model assumptions.
		Robust parameteric statistics tends to rely on replacing the normal distribution in classical methods with the t-distribution with low degrees of freedom (high kurtosis; degrees of freedom between 4 and 6 have often been found to be useful in practice) or with a mixture of two or more distributions.
		Robust statistical methods, of which the trimmed mean is a simple example, seek to outperform classical statistical methods in the presence of outliers, or, more generally, when underlying parametric assumptions are not quite correct.

	Robust regression - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In robust statistics, robust regression is a form of regression analysis designed to circumvent the limitations of traditional parametric and non-parametric methods.
		One instance in which robust estimation should be considered is when there is a strong suspicion of heteroskedasticity.
		Because the least squares estimates are dragged towards the outliers, and because the variance of the estimates is artificially inflated, the result is that outliers are masked (and in many situations, including some areas of geostatistics and medical statistics, it is precisely the outliers that are of interest).

		A robust decision is one that comes as close as possible to satisfying all of the viewpoints.
		The robustness of any decision and the risk incurred in making that decision is only as good as the estimates on which it is based.
		A robust decision is the best possible choice, one found by eliminating all the uncertainty possible within available resources, and then choosing an alternative with known and acceptable satisfaction and risk.

	Robust Redhorse Conservation Committee

		The robust redhorse is a large, long-lived member of the redhorse sucker family.

	Robust Intra-document Locations
		By robust, we mean that one should be able to make an intra-document reference to a location within an arbitrary resource, save this description, and then re-establish the location in the future, after a document has undergone some class of mutations.
		Robust locations relies on the presumption of a document object model against which location descriptors are interpreted.
		Suppose that matching a tree walk of a robust location against the actual runtime tree fails at the exact saved offset (that is, that the walk is matched successfully up to the leaf, but that the leave is of the wrong type, or that the index of the media element is invalid).

		Robust political economy requires that both the assumptions of benevolence and omniscience be relaxed so that both incentive issues and knowledge problems can be adequately addressed.
		From the standpoint of robustness, however, that the incentive issue was unavailable to Mises and Hayek for criticism was a boon to the liberal cause.

	Robust Hyperlinks and Locations
		Note that TF is considered only as a robustness heuristic, in that repeated words are assumed to be less likely to all be deleted, but only up to a point.
		We check that a walk is valid by checking each node name, which is redundantly recorded in a robust location; for media indices, the general algorithm only checks that the indexed element can be found, after which control is passed to a medium-specific model that may have its own robustness methods.
		Robust hyperlinks and robust locations are examples of the "permissive, but robust" approach to distributed systems.

	Definition of robust
		The word robust, when used with regard to computer software, refers to an operating system or other program that performs well not only under ordinary conditions but also under unusual conditions that stress its designers' assumptions.
		This is in large part because programs are usually too big and too complicated for a single human mind to comprehend in their entirety, and thus it is difficult for their developers to be able to discover and eliminate all the errors, or to even be certain as to what extent of errors exist.
		Robustness is something that should be designed into software from the ground up; it is not something that can be successfully tacked on at a later date.

		Robust tests of inequality constraints and one-sided hy potheses in the linear model.

		In the 1980s, several alternatives to M-estimation were proposed as attempts to overcome the lack of resistance.
		Least median of squares and least trimmed squares both appeared to be viable alternatives.
		An alternative parametric approach is to assume that the residuals follow a mixture of normal distributions; in particular, a contaminated normal distribution in which the majority of observations are from a specified normal distribution, but a small proportion are from a normal distribution with much higher variance.

	FAQ: Advantages of the robust variance estimator
		The robust variance estimator is robust to the assumptions (1) and (2).
		The robust variance estimator estimates V(b) such that nominal (1 − alpha) confidence intervals constructed from it have B in the interval about (1 − alpha) of the time if one was to repeatedly resample from this population.
		The robust variance estimator produces correct variance estimates V(b) for b in the same sense discussed above: nominal (1 − alpha) confidence intervals constructed from it have B* in the interval about (1 − alpha) of the time if one were to repeatedly resample from this population.

	Human Ancestors Hall: The Robust Debate
		The word "robust" originally referred to the larger body that the members of these two species were supposed, by paleoanthropologists, to have had.
		Few postcranial bones existed at the time for either, and inferences were based on the size of their teeth.
		Yet, because of the extreme heavy chewing adaptations of the "robust" forms, it is thought that they represent a group of species (or clade) separate from that which led to modern humans, and eventually this clade became extinct.

	A Brief Overview of Robust Statistics
		Robust statistics have recently emerged as a family of theories and techniques for estimating the parameters of a parametric model while dealing with deviations from idealized assumptions [
		And when the amount of noise is less than the assumed level, it will lack efficiency, i.e., the parameter estimates suffer in terms of accuracy, since not all the good data points are taken into account.
		In general, it is best for a robust estimator to use as many of the good samples of a distribution as possible, in order to maintain a good efficiency.

	Robust Analysis of Visual Data
		High breakdown point robust estimators in statistics tolerate up to fifty percent of the data points not obeying the same model.
		In image analysis, however, the data is often complex and several instances of a model are simultaneously present, each accounting for a relative small percentage of the data points.
		Only robust methods designed with the special nature of the visual data in mind can achieve satisfactory results.

	Robust Programming
		Robust programming, also called bomb-proof programming, is a style of programming that prevents abnormal termination or unexpected actions.
		Robust programming is defensive, and the defensive nature protects the program not only from those who use your routine but also from yourself.
		The above routines are robust, because they cannot be crashed by poor or incorrect calls, or inconsistency in the caller.
