Σύνοψη	Robust multinomial logistic regression extends the standard multinomial logit model to handle outliers, influential observations, and mild misspecification of the response distribution. It replaces the conventional maximum likelihood score equations with bounded influence functions (M-estimation) or pairs maximum likelihood with sandwich variance estimators, so that a small fraction of anomalous cases cannot distort the estimated log-odds ratios across outcome categories.	Robust regression estimates the linear relationship between a continuous outcome and predictors while sharply reducing the influence of outliers and leverage points. Unlike OLS, which is highly sensitive to extreme observations, robust methods assign down-weighted influence to atypical data points, producing coefficient estimates that remain stable even when a fraction of the data is contaminated or non-normally distributed.
