By investigating the relationship between biomarker profiles and dietary intake using machine learning methodologies, there could be a way to more objectively assess study participant nutrient profiles and better understand the relationship between nutrient intake and disease. Our aim in this thesis is to assess the utility of non-linear tree-based models in predicting daily intake of total fat and the percent of energy from fat from serum and 24-h urine high dimensional metabolites.  \nMethods: Our analysis used the dataset from a 2-week controlled feeding study mimicking the participants’ habitual diets among 153 post-menopausal women from the Nutrition and Physical Activity Assessment Study Feeding study, conducted in the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) . Fasting serum metabolite profiles, urine metabolites, as well as demographic and Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) data, were used to predict total fat and percent energy from fat using four cross-validated tree-based machine learning models. A LASSO model for regression was used as a way to compare the models to a linear model.  \nResults: The highest cross-validated multiple correlation coefficients (CV-R2) for total fat intake and percent energy intake were 10.2% and 10 .4%, respectively. None of the models had a CV-R2 of over 36% . There were no significant differences found between the performance of linear and non-linear models in predicting fat intake.  \nConclusion: Both linear and non-linear models were shown to be unable to predict total fat and dietary fat intake using serum and urinary metabolites accurately and reliably. Variable importance suggests that tree-based, machine-learning models have the potential to help understand non-linear interactions between biomarkers and dietary intake.  \n1. Introduction  \n1.1. Bias and the search for objectivity in Nutritional Science research  \nUnderstanding the relationship between diet and the risk of disease is at the forefront of nutrition research today. However, research in Nutritional Science regarding these associations is hindered by our current methodological approaches. One crucial issue is the reliance on participant selfreport to assess their diet, such as the commonly used Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) . The reliance on self-report in these methodologies can lead to systemic bias and measurement error that can influence our understanding of the diet-disease relationship 1. Self-report bias can be due to participants inability to fully recall their dietary intake, intentional misreporting, and/ or due to the natural variations in food preparations and quantities that are not reflected by the food composition database used to calculate energy and nutrient intake from the FFQs 1. There is, therefore, a critical need to incorporate objective measures, such as metabolomic biomarkers, into these epidemiological methodologies.  \nPrevious work from the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) has provided a strong foundation for correcting self-report biases using regression calibration methods.
