Robustness may refer to:

In biology
- Robustness (evolution)
  Robustness (evolution)
  Robustness of a biological system is the persistence of a certain characteristic or trait in a system under perturbations or conditions of uncertainty. Robustness in development is known as canalization...
  
  , the persistence of a system’s characteristic behavior under perturbations or conditions of uncertainty. According to the kind of perturbation involved, it can be classified as mutational robustness
  Mutational robustness
  Mutational robustness describes the extent to which an organism’s phenotype remains constant in spite of mutation. Natural selection can directly induce the evolution of mutational robustness only when mutation rates are high and population sizes are large...
  
  , environmental robustness, etc

- Robustness (morphology)
  Robustness (morphology)
  In biology, robustness is used to describe a species with a morphology based on strength and a heavy build. The alternative morphology is the 'gracile' body type. For example, comparing similar species, rats have robust body types while mice are gracile. Male and females of the same species may...
Robust control
Robust control
Robust control is a branch of control theory that explicitly deals with uncertainty in its approach to controller design. Robust control methods are designed to function properly so long as uncertain parameters or disturbances are within some set...
Robust optimization
Robust optimization
Robust optimization is a field of optimization theory that deals with optimization problems where robustness is sought against uncertainty and/or variability in the value of a parameter of the problem.- History :...
Robust decision
Robust decision
Robust decision is a term dating back to the late 1990s. It is used to identify decisions made with a process that includes formal consideration of uncertainty...

, a decision that is as immune to uncertainty as is possible and looks good to all constituents long after it is made
Robust decision making
Robust decision making
Robust decision making is an iterative decision analytic framework that helps identify potential robust strategies, characterize the vulnerabilities of such strategies, and evaluate the tradeoffs among them...
Robust statistics
Robust statistics
Robust statistics provides an alternative approach to classical statistical methods. The motivation is to produce estimators that are not unduly affected by small departures from model assumptions.- Introduction :...

, a statistical technique that performs well even if its assumptions are somewhat violated by the true model from which the data were generated
Robustness (computer science)
Robustness (computer science)
In computer science, robustness is the ability of a computer system to cope with errors during execution or the ability of an algorithm to continue to operate despite abnormalities in input, calculations, etc. Formal techniques, such as fuzz testing, are essential to showing robustness since this...
Robustness (economics)
Robustness (economics)
In economics, robustness defines the ability of a financial trading system to remain effective under different markets and different market conditions, or the ability of an economic model to remain valid under different assumptions, parameters and initial conditions....
