সারসংক্ষেপ	Robust McDonald's omega estimates the internal consistency reliability of a composite scale using factor-analytic loadings obtained through robust estimation methods (such as MLR or DWLS). Unlike standard omega or Cronbach's alpha, it remains accurate when item distributions are non-normal, skewed, or when the sample contains influential outliers — conditions common in applied psychological and educational measurement.	Robust confirmatory factor analysis fits a pre-specified factor structure to observed data while correcting standard errors and goodness-of-fit statistics for violations of multivariate normality. It is the preferred variant of CFA whenever Likert-type, skewed, or kurtotic indicators make the classical normal-theory estimator unreliable.
