요약	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.	Robust K-means clustering is an extension of classical k-means that protects cluster estimates from distortion caused by outliers or contaminated observations. By trimming a user-specified fraction of the most extreme points before updating cluster centers, the algorithm yields stable, meaningful partitions even when the data contain atypical cases that would severely bias standard k-means.
