  • P1-17 The treelet transform—a novel method for determining patterns in adipose tissue fatty acids

    Christina C Dahm, Jane Nautrup Østergaard et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2011

    Introduction Dietary fatty acid intake may be associated with risk of obesity and non-communicable disease. Adipose tissue fatty acids are correlated, reflecting shared dietary sources and metabolic processes. To date fatty acids have been investigated individually, or using principal component analysis (PCA), but interpretation of such studies is not trivial. The treelet transform (TT) is a novel method for generating sparse factors that describ…
