Fix NaN handling in robust regression and enable predictor-specific min_stat threshold

- Updated `process_group_robust` to drop rows with NaNs in predictors, targets, or weights before fitting HuberRegressor
- Ensured that predictors are only used if they meet their individual `min_stat` thresholds
- Prevented fit failures caused by insufficient data or NaNs, resolving test failure in `test_min_stat_per_predictor`
