English term or phrase: very steep linear interpolation
Finally, to avoid an excessive jump between zero and the number of people affected of Mild drought when the Mild drought trigger is hit, the user can choose to apply a “pre-Mild drought trigger”. It is a ***very steep linear interpolation*** between 0 and the people at risk of mild drought and its purpose is to prevent that very small changes in the WRSI/benchmark ratio around the Mild drought trigger correspond to a big difference in number of people affected.

-> une interpolation linéaire introduisant une contrainte??

Aucune idée... merci de votre aide!!!

interpolation linéaire simple (ou sommaire)


Explanation:
Après avoir réfléchi aux commentaires fort éclairants de Donal (DLyons), je pense en effet qu'il ne faut pas accorder trop d'importance à "very steep". L'auteur du texte indique simplement que pour éviter un effet de seuil brutal, il propose une méthode sommaire d'introduction d'un seuil intermédiaire par le biais d'une simple interpolation linéaire (obtenu par un calcul rapide et non sophistiqué, en quelque sorte).
A mon sens, et comme le propose Donal, "interpolation linéaire" peut également suffire.

Reference information:
steep = raide, abrupte
Donc peut-être "très forte interpolation linéaire"
