Heatmap of the factor congruence coefficientsa,b between the shared dietary patterns identified with the Bayesian and frequentist multi-study factor analysis and the overall-sample dietary patterns from principal component factor analysis. Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos, 2008–2011. aCongruence coefficients range between 0 and 1 (in absolute value), with values between 0.85 and 0.94 indicating fairly similarity and values ≥ 0.95 indicating equivalence of the corresponding dietary patterns. bDietary patterns were ordered in terms of proportion of total variance explained in each solution (see Supplementary Table 5)
