bite: Body Intake Estimate
In ToxStrategies/biteR: Body Intake Estimator (NHANES)

Description Usage Arguments Details Value

Given an input file of food codes and additive levels, returns matrices of population intake statistics based on NHANES dietary survey data.

1	bite(file_name = "")

file_name

Name of input .csv file containing additive uses and use level by food code. See help >package?biteR for input file requirements. type "amt" or "size" to define what is being estimated: amount of the food consumed or size of the portion consumed

This function reads an input file of food codes, use, relevant proportion of the food code, and additive use level and produces population intake statistics for strata, currently hard-coded.

See biteR-package help >package?biteR for details of strata and input file format requirements. In subsequent versions it is expected that these strata and features of the input file will be parameterizable by the user.

This function is a wrap-around for 3 underlying steps in the BITE process: param.bite(file_name = ""), raw.bite(x), and pop.bite(x)

This function is for estimating (sub)population average daily intake levels. To estimate average size(gr) consumed of a food in any eating occasion, please see bite.size().

3 matrices of population stats containing all strata, one for each: full, female, and male
