תקציר	Robust quantitative content analysis is a systematic method for coding and counting manifest or latent features of communication content — texts, images, or media — while applying statistical estimators that are resistant to outliers, skewed distributions, and coding inconsistencies. By combining the structured coding protocol of classical content analysis with robust statistical measures, it produces frequency and association estimates that are less distorted when data violate normality assumptions or contain extreme values.	Bayesian quantitative content analysis systematically codes and counts features in textual or media content, then quantifies patterns and tests hypotheses using Bayesian statistical inference. Unlike classical frequency-based content analysis, it incorporates prior knowledge or domain expectations into the estimation process, producing posterior probability distributions over content parameters rather than single point estimates with p-values. The approach is particularly valuable when prior research, expert knowledge, or pilot data exist and when uncertainty quantification around content proportions and category frequencies is important.
