Russian term or phrase: выделение
The text, on motivation of pupils, uses the word "выделение" repeatedly, but I don't think it can be translated the same each time:

Выделение мотивов осуществлялось с помощью факторного анализа с использованием статистической оценки числа выделяемых факторов и вращения факторов до достижения простой структуры (методом Варимакс с нормировкой), что позволило интерпретировать внутреннюю структуру выделяемых факторов через веса исследуемых мотивировок. Выявление половой и возрастной специфики достигалось сравнением факторной структуры, получаемой при независимом анализе оценок четырех групп школьников.

My draft:
Factor analysis was used to detect the motives, using statistical estimation of the number of allocated factors and factor rotation to achieve a simple structure (by the Varimax method with normalization). This made it possible to interpret the inner structure of the allocated factors through the weights of the analyzed motivation. Identification of gender and age specifics was achieved by comparing the factor structure obtained by independent analysis of the scores of the four groups of students.

Does this make any sense? Statistics is not my strong point.

Thanks to all. The discussion was helpful. Marlin provided the most useful documentation and explanation of how the word would be translated differently in two contexts involving factor analysis.

weighting


Explanation:
выделяемые факторы = weighted factors (!).
(Literally, "allocated factors" however, the term of art in statistics is "weighted factors".) (The temptation might be to translate it as "weighting factors", but of course this would be wrong. To state the situation confusingly -- but accurately -- there are weighting factors that represent the weights of the respective weighted factors.)

Feb 1, 2017 - The weighted factors can then be integrated into a weighting/scoring method to choose among alternatives. At this stage in the .... alternatives. It also will guide the evaluator(s) into determining weights that could be assigned to each factor. ... factors. One of the more common orthogonal rotations is Varimax.

Naturally, one would like to see "весовые" somewhere. However, the issue here is not what is idiomatic Russian so much is what is idiomatic English. Presented with "выделяемые", in a statistics context, the idiomatic English term which suggested itself was "weighted".

Asker: Not sure about this. All the Russian translations I find related to "weighted" or "weighting" have "вес" in them, such as весовой коэффициент (weighting factor) - http://isi.cbs.nl/glossary/term3505.htm
