Zusammenfassung	Robust ABC extends standard Approximate Bayesian Computation to handle outliers, model misspecification, and sensitivity to summary statistic choice. By replacing conventional distance measures with robust alternatives — such as composite scores, trimmed statistics, or synthetic likelihoods — it protects posterior inference from being distorted by atypical observations or an imperfect simulator.	Robust variational inference (RVI) extends standard variational inference by replacing the Kullback-Leibler divergence with a divergence measure that is less sensitive to outliers and model misspecification — such as the beta-divergence or a Renyi-type divergence. This yields posterior approximations that remain well-behaved even when a fraction of the data departs from the assumed model.
