factored

1. Expressed in terms of factors (values that are multiplied together to form a whole)
   • A radical in final factored form is written last, proceeded by the other factors listed with numbers before letters (variables); and variables are usually listed in alphabetical order.1998, Walter W. Leffin, George L. Henderson, Mary Van Beck Voelker, Introduction to Technical Mathematics
   • An alternative representation (to sum-of-product form) of a logic function which is closer to the physical implementation of the logic is the factored form.2005, Gary D. Hachtel, Fabio Somenzi, Logic Synthesis and Verification Algorithms, page 417
2. Having been subjected to, or resulting from a factor analysis.
   • To study the predictive efficiency of the M-Scales, the design was based on correlational analysis while the factored dimensions of the M-Scales were studied through factor analysis.1963, Mark K. Kipfmueller, The Predictibility (sic) and Factored Dimensions of the M-Scales for Eleventh Grade Parochial School Students, page 57
   • Few of the studies cited in this chapter report the intercorrelations of the factored inventory.1985, Richard Borden, David B. Gray, Russell H. Weigel, Ecological Beliefs and Behaviors: Assessment and Change, page 44
3. Based on groups or categories of inputs.
   • In Argos we used factored data descriptions. Instead of considering the body of a description as a collection of predicates all of equal importance, we group the predicates into meaningful concepts for the domain, and then use these concepts as appropriate in the body of the relational definitions.2007, José Luis Ambite, Dipsy Kapoor, “Automatically Composing Data Workflows with Relational Descriptions and Shim Services”, in Karl Aberer, editor, The Semantic Web, page 18
   • In factored models, translation consists of applying translation and generation steps that gradually fill in the target-side factors and produce a final translation.2013, Alexander Gelbukh, Computational Linguistics and Intelligent Text Processing, page 211
4. Adjusted (usually increased) to compensate for unknown factors or associated amounts.
   • The reader's attention is drawn to the main disadvantage of a factored estimate (vs. a curve estimate, the normal alternative at this stage in project development).1996, Forrest Clark, A.B. Lorenzoni, Applied Cost Engineering, page 37
   • The results of these four analyses are shown in Table 6-1, along with factored moments for an interior span obtained by the direct design method.1998, Edward S. Hoffman, David P. Gustafson, Albert J. Gouwens, Structural Design Guide to the ACI Building Code, page 164
5. Pertaining to the sale of receivables to a third party.
   • Factored loan volume in the United States last year alone was in excess of $80 billion (most of which was done by banks).2000 September, John Fox, “Factoring Comments Unfair”, in ABA Journal, volume 86, page 12
   • Always be honest and make absolutely sure all your factored invoices are accurate so the trust is maintained and your business can continue to grow.2012, Jeff Callender, Factoring: How to Get Unlimited Funds Without a Loan
