Model comparison using deviance information criterion (DIC). {D = 0} implies D₁₁ = D₁₂ = D₂₂ = 0 which implies no subject-specific biases (no heterogeneity) in the FFQ or 24-hour recall. Δ̄ is the posterior mean of minus twice the log likelihood, p_δ is the effective number of parameters, Δ* is minus twice the log likelihood evaluated at the posterior means of the parameters, and DIC = Δ̄ + p_δ.
