Resumo	Robust latent class analysis (robust LCA) extends the standard latent class model by incorporating outlier-resistant estimation techniques — such as trimmed likelihood, M-estimation, or downweighting — so that atypical response patterns do not distort the recovered class structure or class membership probabilities.	Latent class analysis identifies unobserved subgroups — latent classes — within a population by finding patterns of responses across a set of categorical observed indicators. It is the categorical-variable counterpart of cluster analysis, but grounded in an explicit probabilistic model, and is widely used in social, health, and behavioral sciences to discover typologies in survey or diagnostic data.
