Factorea


Explanation:
Sandra: Esta es otra opción que se usa en castellano cuando en Medicina uno alude a modelos estadísticos/lógicos de riesgo, de toma de decisiones, o de costo-beneficio. Se usa bastante en Argentina.

También estoy de acuerdo con las opciones de Jon.
Suerte

agree  Paloma: ok, en Argentina, pero no en España y es mejor optar por una solución válida en todos los países donde se hable español.

  -> No siempre...Pienso que lo mejor es "tailor to the audience". Hay palabras españolas que suenan muy mal en Argentina ;-)

multiplica, etc


Explanation:
factorea suena a spanglish totalmente. Elena además te ha dicho que se usa en su país, Argentina. Utiliza alguna solución que te han propuesto los otros porque creo que están bastante bien. Al ser un término más o menos especializado, es posible que en Argentina se acepte FACTOREAR o FACTORAR pero te aconsejo que no lo uses. Queda peor que mal.
Suerte y saludos
