Sneaking factors:
Sneak skill (obviously)
Apparel weight (heavier apparel will make you easier to detect, weapons also add to this if they are not holstered)
Move speed (walking is better than running, negated with Silent Running perk)
Line of sight
Light (PipBoy light will make you easier to detect as will being in bright areas)
Contact (touching someone will instantly alert them that you are there)
Sound (shooting loud weapon will make you easier to detect)
So basically keep your PipBoy light off, your weapon holstered, walk if you dont have silent running and try to stay out of line of sight. Also if possible wear no/light apparel.
