Tóm tắt	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.	Robust hierarchical clustering extends classical agglomerative or divisive hierarchical clustering by replacing sensitive distance measures and linkage criteria with outlier-resistant alternatives, preserving cluster structure even when data contain anomalous observations or heavy-tailed distributions.
