תקציר	Robust latent profile analysis identifies latent subgroups of individuals based on their continuous multivariate indicators while protecting parameter estimates from distortion by outliers or atypical observations. It extends standard latent profile analysis by replacing the Gaussian component densities with heavier-tailed or contaminated-normal alternatives that down-weight extreme cases during estimation.	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.
