The phrase "a robust test of" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing the effectiveness or reliability of a method, system, or concept in evaluating something.
Example: "The researchers conducted a robust test of the new drug's efficacy compared to the standard treatment."
Alternatives: "a thorough evaluation of" or "a comprehensive assessment of".
The non-parametric Joint Rank Fit (JRFit) procedure was used to provide a robust test of the significance of interactions between the phases of ENSO PDO, ENSO AMO and ENSO NAO baseflows.
The very low percentage of ground returns recorded in this dataset provided a robust test of the utility of LiDAR data in predicting stand characteristics.
The very low percentage of ground returns recorded in this dataset provided a robust test of how far LiDAR pulse density could be reduced without affecting model precision.
We collected representatives of truly co-occurring species in order to provide a robust test of in situ applications of DNA barcodes.
For the empirical tests (Table 4), taxonomically difficult taxa (e.g., palms, orchids, cycads) were intentionally selected in order to provide a robust test of how well the loci could resolve these species pairs.
Although a comparison of only two regions (mainland, island) is not a robust test of the niche variation hypothesis, we found additional and direct support for trophic niche expansion in wolves, with island wolves – that showed the larger niche width – also exhibiting more intra-group diet variability than wolves from the mainland (Fig. 5).
The second GSEA variant applied a robust test for homogeneity of variance [51], the Levene test as modified by Brown and Forsythe (LBF) [52].
Later modifications of these models [ 34, 35] suggest that a likelihood ratio test, comparing the modified model A (still called branch-site model A) with the same model but with an ω ratio fixed to 1, appears to be a robust test for identification of positive selection sites.
3. I worried a little about the uniqueness of the Gamma-distribution in generating the scaling behavior given the absence of a robust test for the scaling exponent.
"It's not a very robust test of a hypothesis," said Dr. Charles H. Hennekens, a former professor of medicine at Harvard who was hired by the industry to review the findings.
Using repeated, independent trials of a BW treatment system provides a more robust test of performance than a single trial for multiple reasons.
