Resum	Robust Spearman correlation is an outlier-resistant measure of monotonic association between two variables. It applies robustification strategies — such as Winsorizing extreme ranks or using the percentage-bend approach — to protect Spearman's rho against distortion from outliers or heavy-tailed distributions, while retaining its nonparametric rank-based character.	The robust independent samples t-test compares the central tendency of two independent groups using trimmed means and Winsorized variances, making it substantially less sensitive to outliers and non-normality than the classical Student or Welch t-test. The most widely used form is Yuen's test, which also accommodates unequal variances across groups.
