Tiivistelmä	Robust Gibbs sampling is a Markov chain Monte Carlo strategy that pairs the coordinate-wise Gibbs sampler with heavy-tailed or outlier-resistant model specifications — most commonly Student-t likelihoods — so that the posterior inference is not distorted by extreme observations. It achieves robustness through data augmentation: each observation receives a latent variance weight that automatically down-weights outliers during each sampling sweep.	Robust Bayesian inference extends standard Bayesian analysis by replacing a single prior distribution with a class of plausible priors and examining how much the posterior conclusions change across that class. Instead of committing to one prior, the analyst bounds the posterior quantity of interest, revealing whether findings are stable or critically dependent on prior assumptions.
