Previous likelihood-based linear modeling of nutritional data has been limited by the availability of software that allows flexible error structures in the data. We demonstrate the use of a Bayesian modeling approach to the analysis of such…
Deriving nutritional information from online food posts is challenging, particularly when users do not explicitly log the macro-nutrients of a shared meal. In this work, we present an efficient and straightforward approach to approximating…
Food is an integral part of our lives, cultures, and well-being, and is of major interest to public health. The collection of daily nutritional data involves keeping detailed diaries or periodic surveys and is limited in scope and reach.…
In this paper, we explore the problem of identifying substitute relationship between food pairs from real-world food consumption data as the first step towards the healthier food recommendation. Our method is inspired by the distributional…
Comment on ``Tests of scaling and universality of the distributions of trade size and share volume: Evidence from three distinct markets" by Plerou and Stanley, Phys. Rev. E 76, 046109 (2007)
This is a survey article based on the content of the plenary lecture given by Jos\'e A. Carrillo at the ICIAM23 conference in Tokyo. It is devoted to produce a snapshot of the state of the art in the analysis, numerical analysis,…
In the United States the preferred method of obtaining dietary intake data is the 24-hour dietary recall, yet the measure of most interest is usual or long-term average daily intake, which is impossible to measure. Thus, usual dietary…

Comment on ``Demystifying Double Robustness: A Comparison of Alternative Strategies for Estimating a Population Mean from Incomplete Data'' [arXiv:0804.2958]
This Policy Comment describes how the Food Policy article entitled 'Cost and affordability of nutritious diets at retail prices: Evidence from 177 countries' (first published October 2020) and 'Retail consumer price data reveal gaps and…
Current research in food analysis primarily concentrates on tasks such as food recognition, recipe retrieval and nutrition estimation from a single image. Nevertheless, there is a significant gap in exploring the impact of food intake on…
A reply to the comment by Lee et al. [arXiv:1309.5367]
The following conversation is based in part on a transcript of a 2009 interview funded by Pfizer Global Research-Connecticut, the American Statistical Association and the Department of Statistics at the University of Connecticut-Storrs as…
Human beings are creatures of habit. In their daily life, people tend to repeatedly consume similar types of food items over several days and occasionally switch to consuming different types of items when the consumptions become overly…
We analyze a coupled anonymized dataset collecting the mobile phone communication and bank transactions history of a large number of individuals. After mapping the social structure and introducing indicators of socioeconomic status,…
Food webs are networks describing who is eating whom in an ecological community. By now it is clear that many aspects of food-web structure are reproducible across diverse habitats, yet little is known about the driving force behind this…
Recent work has focused attention on statistical inference for the population distribution of the number of sexual partners based on survey data. The characteristics of these distributions are of interest as components of mathematical…
