For and , the nominal log-likelihood ratio for one observation is . Under sufficiently small epsilon-contamination neighborhoods, the least-favourable pair clips this likelihood ratio between two constants. Symmetry turns its log into a positive multiple of the winsorized scoreThe robust form of the Neyman-Pearson lemma therefore rejects for large values ofwith boundary randomization and threshold chosen so that the worst-case null rejection probability is . Extreme observations contribute only , preventing a few contaminants from dominating the test.
