S-Estimator
The S-estimator is a robust linear-regression method, introduced by Rousseeuw and Yohai in 1984, that estimates the coefficients by minimising a robust M-estimate of the residual scale rather than the variance of the residuals. By driving down a bounded measure of residual spread it can attain a breakdown point of up to 50%, so it stays reliable even when a large share of the data are outliers, and it provides the first stage of the well-known MM-estimator.

Curated claims
Claims persisted in the evidence ledger, each with its own assessment.
This view does not invent a claim assessment when the ledger has none.
