Marketing - Marketing / Market Research
French term or phrase: adequation
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!
