Sintesi	The Robust Mann-Whitney U test is a nonparametric two-group comparison that combines the rank-based logic of the classic Mann-Whitney U test with modern robust techniques — such as outlier screening, trimmed means, or robust variance estimation — to produce reliable inferences when data contain extreme values, heavy-tailed distributions, or other violations that compromise the standard test.	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.
