Marketing - Mathematics & Statistics / stats abbreviation
French term or phrase: Sté/pond 2008
Hello,

I'm working on a market research statistics document (services evaluation), and nobody I know (including some French professionals) seem to be able to decypher this one. It's just a graph in a chart, and it's measured in percents. If it's any help, the graphs go like this:

Zone :
Pays :
2008 : Eff / Retour / Poids
2007 : Eff / Retour / Poids
Sté/pond 2008 : (for example) 17%

Any ideas what this "Sté/pond 2008" thing might mean? Thank you very much!

Explanation:
Can't help with the Sté part, but I think it's a reasonable bet that the 'pond' bit = pondéré = weighted

It would probably help to know a bit just what this is all in aid of, and if there is any correlation between the figures?

I guess the 'poids' is almost certainly going to be 'weighting factor', if that helps to establish some kind of corelation?

As for Sté, i would have expected it to have been 'société' — could that make any sense if it were, for example, weighted figures per company across a whole group of companies?

A bit more of your wider context might help us to figure it out!

Explanation:
Can't think of anything else than société/pondération (i.e. pondération pour chaque entreprise en 2008 = 17 %). Just a guess, though.
