a The typical dietary assessment such as ASA24 (Automated Self-Administered 24-hour Dietary Assessment Tool) often induces a measurement error in the food intake due to unreliable mental recall. Such a random measurement error or systematic error/bias in the food intake is carried to the nutrient profile when the food profile is converted to the nutrient profile. b Our goal in this study is to remove the random part of measurement error. More specifically, we would like to infer true nutrient profiles based on assessed nutrient profiles and microbial compositions.
