Rezumat	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.	Mixture modeling assumes that a population is composed of K unobserved subpopulations, each described by its own probability distribution. The observed data are treated as draws from a weighted combination of these component distributions. It provides a principled, model-based alternative to ad hoc clustering and supports formal comparison of solutions with different numbers of components.
