תקציר	Robust multidimensional scaling recovers a low-dimensional spatial map from a matrix of pairwise dissimilarities while resisting distortion caused by outlying or erroneous proximity values. By replacing squared-error loss with a robust loss function or down-weighting suspect pairs, it produces a configuration that faithfully represents the bulk of the data even when some distances are grossly atypical.	Robust Cluster Analysis is a trimmed model-based clustering method, introduced by García-Escudero and colleagues in 2008, that partitions continuous multivariate data into clusters while resisting the influence of outliers and noise. By setting aside a fraction of the most discordant observations, it keeps the recovered cluster structure from being contaminated by stray points.
