*****我們關心的是它在統計學上的意義：
這robust，在20世紀中葉起有一重要新意，從統計學家G.E.P Box開始--他但開風氣，反而沒從誤差討論它，在1960年代，JohnTukey等人發展之，現在robustand resistant共用，與探索性數據分析（Exploratory Data Analysis）息息相關......），從而發展出各行各業的新意。這在Wikipedia有簡單的說明。
Robust的基本想法是：如果該學門的諸假設不符合、環境更差......等「惡劣因素」，效果仍然可接受或還不錯。
robustness在統計應用的意思：A robust statistical test is one that performs well even if itsassumptionsare violated by the true model from which the data were generated. --這寫得比ShorterOxford English Dictionary的說明還不專業。
robust常常翻譯得不好，譬如說，
「.......結果顯示影響很大，也就是『關係紮實』(robust)，意思是說這些結論在我們所建立的每個不同模型都可以出現。&..」（Juliet Schor著《天生買家》BORN TO BUY: The Commercialized Child and the New Consumer Culture 彭蕙仙譯，天下雜誌，2006，頁219）
In Engineering Design
Robust Design generally means that thedesign is capable of functioning correctly, (or at the very minimum, notfailing catastrophically) under a great many conditions. Also, it means thattolerances can be looser because "it can only be built oneway."這在講田口方法/實驗設計的英文書名中可知，因為它的因子水準可設在「兩極值」，來組合實驗條件。Additionally, a robust design usually has a high signal-to-noise ratio.
