To this purpose/ For this purpose

Hi,
Is "to this purpose" correct in the context below?

"In multivariate analysis, the study power was calculated for each the test to discover the relation between the type shift and the differences of the test scores at the shift start and shift end. To this purpose, the R- squared (minus the main independent variable) was calculated for the model containing all the variables for controlling the effects.

Thanks!

Yes, but to me 'to this purpose' is a bit too elegant for the factual style of the rest of the paragraph.. I don't fully understand your topic, but here are a few edits for you to consider. In multivariate analysis, the study power was calculated for each the test to discover the relation between the type of shift and the differences of the test scores at the shift start and shift end.
