This is my search to recreate the data I am working on:

  | fields + Date kpi1 | fields - _time
  | search kpi1=* 
  | rename Date as _time

If I add | outlier action=remove uselower=true the value on 19th Jan will be removed.

What I am trying to understand is why it is removed. I deally I would like to see the maths behind it, and hopefully that will explain it to me. I have raised a similar/related question here. What I would like to do is be able to draw the line on where the cutoff point is the graph.
