French term

adequation

French to English Marketing Marketing / Market Research
Found in two expressions in an academic text on marketing research: have indicated these below with asterisks.

Not sure if the author simply means adequacy or appropriateness, or if there is a specific term for these two combinations.

Ensuite, nous avons testé la validité discriminante des deux construits d’impression en comparant ****la qualité d’adéquation **** d’un modèle de mesure de l’impression restreint à un facteur (i.e., la première et la dernière impression mesurées au sein d’un seul facteur) à celui proposé à deux facteurs. [...] Le modèle de mesure avec un seul construit d’impression (un facteur, Mj), est inférieur, en termes **** d’adéquation aux données****, au modèle à deux construits (deux facteurs, Mk).

Thanks for your help!

match / correlation

I would be tempted to put 'match(ing) in the first example, and 'correlation' in the second.
Peer comment(s):

disagree Béatrice Huret-Morton : Not the same thing though; adequacy is probably OK.
