solapamiento

Non-PRO Spanish to English Science Zoology statistical analysis of local birdlife
This comes from a text about research into listing the local species found in a region of central Spain. My hunch is the word means some sort of information overload, but I´m not sure.

"Tras realizar un tratamiento previo de normalización para todas las variables cuantitativas, un total de 49, se procedió a reducir las mismas para evitar solapamientos e identificar los descriptores relevantes mediante la aplicación de un análisis de ordenación factorial, lo que redujo la cifra inicial a 18 variables cuantitativas."

Oct 19, 2011 11:43: James A. Walsh changed "Level" from "PRO" to "Non-PRO"

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (3): Emma Goldsmith, FVS (X), James A. Walsh

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.
