Spanish term or phrase: metodo introducir
Aquellas que no se incluyeran en las categorías previas, pero que cambiaran de forma sustancial (20%) el HR. En todos los casos se eligió el método «introducir». Asimismo evaluamos la discriminación del modelo mediante una curva Receiver Operating Characteristic y la calibración mediante la prueba de Hosmer-Lemeshow.

This came from the statistical analysis section of an article and is talking about stepwise logistic regression, but I'm not sure what método «introducir» would be in English. Would it be the "Enter" method?

Thanks,
