Identifying small groups of foods that can predict achievement of key dietaryrecommendations: data mining of the UK National Diet and Nutrition Survey 2008–12

We used data mining techniques to explore the number of foods that intake information was required on to accurately predict achievement, or not, of key dietary recommendations.
