Morphology
factor + space
The phrase is compositionally built: a 'space' made up from 'factors', so a learner who knows both words can infer a general sense of an area or domain defined by factors. However, the precise mathematical/computational sense (latent features, eigenvectors, technical representation) is specialized and not fully predictable for a B1 learner, so the expression is only partially transparent.
Etymology
Factor space comes from the image of making a simple space out of several factors, where each factor is like a direction or a building block that shows one part of the data. So a factor space is a place where different parts are put together to 'represent' and 'compare' data.
