Sintesi	The robust Wilcoxon signed-rank test extends the classical Wilcoxon signed-rank test by incorporating outlier-resistant location measures or robust preprocessing steps, improving inference on paired data when extreme observations or heavy-tailed distributions threaten validity of standard rank-based conclusions.	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.
