Rezumat	Robust frequency analysis applies outlier-resistant estimation and resampling or exact methods to the counting and tabulation of categorical data, reducing the distortion caused by extreme observations, sparse cells, or violations of large-sample assumptions that can make conventional frequency summaries misleading.	The robust chi-square test extends the classic Pearson chi-square framework to remain reliable when standard assumptions — especially the minimum expected-cell-count rule — are violated. Using power divergence statistics (Cressie & Read, 1984) or resampling-based corrections, it produces valid inferences for sparse contingency tables, small samples, and unbalanced categorical data where the ordinary chi-square approximation breaks down.
