Sammendrag	Robust Gibbs sampling is a Markov chain Monte Carlo strategy that pairs the coordinate-wise Gibbs sampler with heavy-tailed or outlier-resistant model specifications — most commonly Student-t likelihoods — so that the posterior inference is not distorted by extreme observations. It achieves robustness through data augmentation: each observation receives a latent variance weight that automatically down-weights outliers during each sampling sweep.	Robust MCMC combines Markov chain Monte Carlo sampling with robustness techniques to produce reliable posterior inference when data contain outliers, when the assumed model is misspecified, or when the target distribution has heavy tails that cause standard samplers to mix poorly or yield distorted estimates.
