สรุป	The robust chi-square test extends the classic Pearson chi-square framework to remain reliable when standard assumptions — especially the minimum expected-cell-count rule — are violated. Using power divergence statistics (Cressie & Read, 1984) or resampling-based corrections, it produces valid inferences for sparse contingency tables, small samples, and unbalanced categorical data where the ordinary chi-square approximation breaks down.	The robust Fisher's exact test extends Fisher's classic exact test for contingency tables by applying conservative-correcting adjustments — most commonly the mid-p correction — to reduce the extreme conservatism of the standard exact test. This produces better-calibrated Type I error rates while maintaining validity in small and sparse samples.
