Resumé	Robust Gaussian Mixture Model replaces the standard Gaussian components with heavier-tailed distributions — most commonly Student's t-distributions — or incorporates trimming and down-weighting of outliers within the EM framework. The result is a probabilistic clustering and density-estimation method that assigns genuinely anomalous points less influence on component parameters, preventing outliers from distorting cluster shapes or positions.	Robust k-means is a variant of classical k-means clustering designed to resist the influence of outliers. By trimming a specified fraction of the most extreme observations before computing cluster centers, it produces stable and meaningful partitions even when the data contain noise, contamination, or heavy-tailed distributions — situations where standard k-means breaks down.
