 Resistant statistics: median, mode, quartiles, IQV. These statistics do not change in the presence of outliers.
 Nonresistant: all value based statistics are non-resistant statistics (mean, variance, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, correlation coefficient). These statistics� values are affected by the presence of outliers.
