The main feature of biological research consists in instability of the studied
object. In addition to exposure to external factors, there is also "self-action":
properties of an object is changed in the course of his life. For this reason there is a
statement that there are no two identical biological properties.
As another consequence of the fact that the object is a living, there are
difficulties in the preparation of the experiment (to determine the volume and the
number of samples, their selection), and the processing of the results, because the
limitations of the material leads to a limit the number of measurements, which leads
us to the concept of "sampling a small volume "and appearance of heterogeneity [1].
In such cases, generally use nonparametric methods. However, much of the
practical effect when working with data can be obtained through the use of robust
procedures, which by their nature are very close to the usual parametric methods and
are resistant to emerging inhomogeneities and possible deviations in the studied
sample [2]
As already mentioned, robust procedures are similar to the classical methods of
data processing. Their undoubted advantage is that the robust estimation is practically
not influenced deviations if the model corresponds to the real is only approximately
that suits our case, since the sample of small amounts of data are dangerous because
they likely appearance kvazivybrosa.

To find out what the impact is still subjected to a robust procedure, a detailed analysis
of S-algorithm has been done. For this use the generated on the basis of the example
[3, Table 24] set of samples of six values in each of which quazi-outlier is present. We
obtained variants samples (Table 1) were subjected to a robust procedure for the
probabilities. Considered the probability of choosing the same in order to check the
behavior of the algorithm than the primary example of the conditions, as in [3] does

not specify the reason for the choice of probability as basic. Furthermore, in most
studies probability value is chosen equal to 0.1 or 0.05, can be incorrect for small
samples.
The work was to find out the following relationship:
1) the dependence of the number iterations of the selected probability;
2) the dependence of the robust estimation of the selected probability.
All of the above can be summarized as follows:
When using the S-robust algorithm, special attention should be paid to the proper
selection of the probabilities, as it directly affects the procedure accounted for in the
factors and, consequently, to obtain a more accurate estimate.
