You define the factor space by grouping equivalent points together.
factor space
idiomA space obtained from another by identification of points that are equivalent to one another in some equivalence relation.
In this mathematical model, we create a factor space to simplify the data by treating similar values as a single point.
By applying the equivalence relation to the original set, the researcher constructs a factor space that reveals the underlying structure of the topological manifold.
