Spanish term or phrase: las estimaciones pertinentes
This is from an article on a model for assessing the risk of business failure, which is full of flowery language and implausibly long sentences.

Relevant analysis??

En la sección 2ª se exponen los diferentes antecedentes teóricos que sirven de base para el desarrollo del modelo planteado, haciendo referencia tanto a la situación actual de la investigación sobre fracaso empresarial como a modelos de medición de la satisfacción laboral y la calidad del empleo. En la sección 3ª, se presenta la especificación econométrica del modelo y la descripción de la muestra objeto de estudio, así como la metodología empleada y las variables que sirven de base para efectuar las estimaciones pertinentes, que son presentadas y discutidas en la sección 4ª. Por último, se exponen las ideas más relevantes a modo de conclusiones.

the relevant estimates
Explanation:
Hard to know without seeing more of the context, but if the risk is being predicted for the future then I think we have to go with "esimates"...

agree  Charles Davis: It's impossible to be sure, because it could mean interpretations (apreciaciones), but it is often used to mean estimates and on balance that's probably the meaning here.

  -> Many thanks! ;-)
neutral  Elaine Colgan: This might be over-complicating it, but from a stats perspective it could be more "relevant approximations" or "relevant conclusions" which come from the metodology?

  -> I agree with Charles' comments above; if this refers to future risks "estimates" is the most likely fit.
