Omits or includes certain observations to estimate the event probability. For example, if some observations are erratic due to assignable causes that you have corrected, you can prevent them from influencing the estimation of the event probability.

Caution

When you include or exclude rows using control chart > Data Options > Subset and also omit or use samples to estimate parameters, the omitted or used samples apply to the subsetted data. For example, you exclude subgroup 1 from your analysis (using control chart > Data Options > Subset), then decide to omit subgroup 2 from the parameter estimation (using control chart Options > Estimate). Because subgroup 1 is excluded from the control chart, the original subgroup 2 becomes the new subgroup 1. When you use control chart Options > Estimate, enter subgroup 1 as the subgroup to omit from parameter estimation.
