Bids, median — where the number comes from
- The calculation
- For each contract that declares it: the number of bids. The median is 1; the middle half runs from 1 to 1.
- What goes in
- 195,704 contracts in the register declare a number of bids above zero, one per contract. The source's zero means “not applicable”: those contracts stay out, like those that declare nothing. Under the method filter, this median stays that of the whole register.
