요약	Robust HDBSCAN (HDBSCAN*) extends the original HDBSCAN algorithm with a robust single-linkage framework that handles noise, outliers, and clusters of varying densities more reliably. Introduced by Campello et al. (2015), it converts any density-based hierarchy into a stable flat clustering while explicitly modeling noise points — without requiring the user to pre-specify the number of clusters.	HDBSCAN (Hierarchical Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise) is a density-based clustering algorithm introduced by Campello, Moulavi, and Sander in 2013. It extends DBSCAN by building a full hierarchy of density-based clusters across all density scales and then extracting a stable flat partition, making it robust to datasets where cluster densities vary substantially across regions.	K-means is a classic unsupervised partitional clustering algorithm that divides a dataset into K non-overlapping groups by iteratively assigning each observation to its nearest centroid and updating centroids as the mean of their assigned points. It is one of the most widely used exploratory tools in machine learning and data analysis.
