The so-called same-store sales are a key measure of a retailer's performance because they exclude closed and new stores.
After testing for multicollinearity, we excluded closed riverine and closed woodland habitats from analyses of wildebeest group size, and closed riverine and open woodland from analyses of zebra group size.
This was to exclude closing and merging practices, unconventional practices (such as boarding school practices and specialist clinics) and practices where motivations for disenrollment might have been dictated by special circumstances (e.g. practices moving address or using temporary accommodation).
An affiliate will be able to share its content with any number of participating members nationally while excluding close competitors, allowing it to retain exclusivity in its own regional market.

Excluding close-in planets that have lost their gas envelope due to stellar irradiation, studies of the metallicity of stars suggest a dividing line of 1.7 Earth radii between rocky planets and gas dwarfs; then another dividing line at 3.9 Earth radii between gas dwarfs and gas giants.
We analyzed ∼300,000 autosomal SNPs genotyped on 4899 individuals from Northern Finland after excluding close relatives.
Representative fish genes from each subclade and additionally, 19 human S100 genes (full set excluding close relatives [ 38]) were used as query in tBLASTN searches in the NCBI nucleotide databases nr/nt, EST [ 51] and in the ENSEMBL database [ 50].
Excluding close relatives is an impotant consideration when conducting SNP-based heritiability estimation because relatives may be more likely to share similar (unmeasured) environmental exposures that influence the phenotype, potentially inflating heritability estimates (Yang et al. 2010).
The list excludes close open-seat races in Arkansas, where former Rep. Asa Hutchinson (R) is favored to succeed retiring Gov. Mike Beebe (D), and in Arizona, where state Treasurer Doug Ducey (R) maintains a lead over former state Board of Regents member Fred DuVal (D).
