Estimation of habitual intake of infrequently consumed nutrients using the mixture distribution method
The proposed MDM offers a computationally simpler approach to estimate habitual intake distribution by modeling the probability distribution of non-consumption and the distribution of positive intakes. The procedure can be easily implemented using standard statistical software and estimates habitual intake for infrequently consumed nutrients from multiple 24-h dietary recalls.
