exceedence / overage Explanation: I'm taking the tack that you would really like confirmation of the existence of the word *exceedence* in English. It does indeed exist. The question is whether it fits the field/context you are translating in: this is not obvious from the limited context you provided. So I've picked up the one use of exceedence/exceedance I could track down, which, according to LGDT, deals with **statistics** (your sentence kind of looks like it might be reporting on statistical data). Does it suit your needs? Otherwise, I would recommend *overage* (meaning, going over the set limit), which has multiple applications. From Termium: English:Hydrology and Hydrography Statistics exceedance s CORRECT exceedence s CORRECT CONT - Data are selected by one of two methods: either one extreme value is chosen for each unit of time ...; or the lowest monthly flows in a period of years are chosen, regardless of when they occurred. With the latter method (the method of exceedences), the number of values chosen need not equal the number of units of time. s OBS - exceedence interval: The average number of years between the occurrence of an event of given magnitude and one that is more extreme. s Le grand dictionnaire terminologique Reference: http://www.termium.com |
