Does average percentage salary increase consider salaries that do not change? [closed]

Is a positive change a pre-condition that must be satisfied before the salary's percentage increase is eligible for being included in the averaging of percentage increases? Is a 0% percentage increase an oxymoron? If a salary is unchanged, then does it belong in a category of its own, like zero is not considered a positive or a negative number? Does average percentage salary increase calculation exclude salaries that decrease and also salaries that remain unchanged, for the same reason, decreases and unchanged are not increases?

Often, when there is some numeric value that a lot of different things have, we'll make a table in which each row listing the name of one of the things (e.g. "Alice's salary") followed by the old value, the new value, and the percentage change from old to new, which may be called "percent increase". A negative increase is in reality a decrease, zero increase is no change. So unless the law explicitly says not to include unchanged or decreasing salaries, I would assume they are included.
