Tiivistelmä	Robust latent class analysis (robust LCA) extends the standard latent class model by incorporating outlier-resistant estimation techniques — such as trimmed likelihood, M-estimation, or downweighting — so that atypical response patterns do not distort the recovered class structure or class membership probabilities.	Robust mixture modeling fits finite mixture models — probabilistic clustering methods that assume data arise from a blend of underlying subpopulations — using component distributions or estimation strategies designed to be insensitive to outliers and heavy-tailed noise. The two dominant approaches replace Gaussian components with heavier-tailed distributions such as the multivariate t, or trim a fixed proportion of the most extreme observations before fitting.
