Root Mean Square Variance (RMSV)

In the query sentence, I think the "extracted" component should be separate from the acronym, like this:
"...we compare/d the Root Mean Square Variance (RMSV) extracted from the scale with the correlation values… "

I'm posting a low confidence level because I'm not strictly speaking an expert on statistics. However, that is how I would parse the sentence.

Again, as I'm not an expert on statistics, I don't have sufficient knowledge to agree or disagree with Alberto's suggestion. However, "mean" and "average"are synonyms to all intents and purposes, and I found this: "Convergent validity is calculated by the mean variance extracted (AVE)"

PS: Although my statistical knowledge is very limited, the acronyms VMCE and AVE don't seem to represent the same thing. I may be mistaken.
Example sentence:

Distribution of the root-mean-square variance...

Peer comment(s):

agree Alberto de Antonio Rivera : The word "extracted" should not be separated from the translation as it is a key part of this statistical variable

In that case, the sentence doesn't scan properly. It would need a verb such as Giovanni suggests, which could be "extracted/estimated/calculated from".
agree Giovanni Rengifo : I totally agree with you, and I'd add that "extraída de" here would be "estimated or calculated from".
