We analyze how predictions of cosmological models depend on a choice of described observational data, restrictions on flatness, and how this choice can alleviate the $H_0$ tension. These effects are demonstrated in the $w$CDM model in comparison with the standard $\Lambda$CDM model. We describe the Pantheon sample observations of Type Ia supernovae, 31 Hubble parameter data points $H(z)$ from cosmic chronometers, the extended sample with 57 $H(z)$ data points and observational manifestations of cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB). For the $w$CDM and $\Lambda$CDM models in the flat case and with spatial curvature we calculate $\chi^2$ functions for all observed data in different combinations, estimate optimal values of model parameters and their expected intervals. For both considered models the results essentially depend on a choice of data sets. In particular, for the $w$CDM model with $H(z)$ data, supernovae and CMB the $1\sigma$ estimations may vary from $H_0=67.52^{+0.96}_{-0.95}$ km\,/(s$\cdot$Mpc) (for all $N_H=57$ Hubble parameter data points) up to $H_0=70.87^{+1.63}_{-1.62}$ km\,/(s$\cdot$Mpc) for the flat case ($k=0$) and $N_H=31$. These results might be a hint how to alleviate the problem of $H_0$ tension: different estimates of the Hubble constant may be connected with filters and a choice of observational data., Comment: 15 pages, 6 figures, submitted to Mathematical Modelling and Geometry
