Σύνοψη	The Tau estimator is a robust linear regression method introduced by Yohai and Zamar in 1988 that fits the model by minimising an efficient τ-scale of the residuals. It builds on the scale estimate of the S-estimator to combine a high breakdown point with high statistical efficiency, and is often used as an alternative to the MM-estimator in small samples.	The Theil-Sen estimator is a robust linear regression method that estimates the slope as the median of the slopes computed over all pairs of data points. Introduced by Henri Theil in 1950 and extended by P. K. Sen in 1968, it tolerates outliers in the response with a breakdown point of about 29%.
