Robust One-Sample t-test (Trimmed Mean)
The robust one-sample t-test replaces the ordinary mean with a trimmed mean and the sample variance with a Winsorized variance to compare a population location against a hypothesized value. It retains the t-test decision framework while sharply reducing sensitivity to outliers and heavy-tailed distributions, making it reliable in real-world continuous data that deviate from normality.
