Regression model
Trimmed Mean Test (Yuen's Test)
The trimmed mean test compares two groups using trimmed means, which discard a fixed proportion of the most extreme observations in each tail before averaging. Introduced by Karen K. Yuen in 1974, it is a robust alternative to the classical t-test when the data are non-normal or contain outliers and the population variances are unequal.
